The magical hunt on domestic releases. -
Limited editions, special editions, special models, discontinued models or regional availabilities are just some of the sales and marketing strategies, watch companies use to sell their products. And all of these strategies lead to the situation that these models getting hard to find. Although the reason behind those strategies might be something different, from price positioning for different markets, to supply chain / production shortage on some materials or just the fact that watch brands just have analyzed specific market demands and see a higher opportunity on regional sales. Whatever the reason is, for the watch enthusiasts, rare makes it even more interesting to search for. Next to Swiss companies, famous for US releases or special releases for marketing events, Japanese companies are very much famous for their JDM releases. This Citizen is one of those examples. Interesting, that also watch enthusiasts worldwide are looking for exactly these models nowadays. A stainless steel, versatile elegant sportswatch with an established automatic movement, a high quality craftmanship, use of great materials, perfect dimension with 38mm case size, a wonderful dial for an affordable price. I don‘t know the reason why this model is only available officially in Japan but it would be the second Tsuyosa effect in my opinion.
The journey continues…
