Citizen drives upmarket with Nissan Z chronograph

Citizen x Nissan Z is an homage to an iconic Japanese speedster, fondly known as the Fairlady Z.

Citizen is continuing to extend its portfolio into the affordable luxury space with limited editions, premium materials and high profile collaborations.

Its first watch of 2022 is a perfect example. The Citizen x Nissan Z is an homage to an iconic Japanese speedster, fondly known as the Fairlady Z, and comes with a price tag of over £2,000.

The 42mm chronograph uses high grade titanium for its case and bracelet.

Design elements inspired by the Nissan Z include accents in Ikazuchi yellow, a signature color of the car, on the bezel and crown and a dial designed like the perforated seats of the car.

A second reference uses blue instead of yellow and its dial has a grey textured dial like smooth asphalt on a highway.
