Citizen has quietly introduced two new Eco-Drive chronographs aimed at select Asian markets, expanding its AT2600 series with premium dual-tone styling. The AT2604-56H and AT2604-56X join the three models launched in May, combining textured dials with reliable solar-powered chronograph performance.
Dual-Tone Finishes and Textured Dials
The AT2604-56H is built around a 41mm stainless steel case accented by a gold bezel, matching gold-toned Roman numerals, hands, and pushers. Its grey textured dial closely echoes the pattern previously seen on the AT2600-57E. Its sibling, the AT2604-56X, opts for a rich emerald green textured dial, with the gold bezel, hands, and numerals providing clear visual contrast. Both models are fitted with a dual-tone stainless steel bracelet that secures with a fold-over push-button clasp, and a mineral crystal protects the dial.
Efficient Solar-Powered Movement
Inside, Citizen uses the H504 Eco-Drive calibre, which stores a full five-month power reserve and charges continuously under any natural or artificial light source, removing the need for routine battery changes. The movement also integrates an insufficient charge warning and an overcharge prevention function. On the dial, three subdials track elapsed chronograph minutes, the 24-hour clock, and running seconds, while a date window sits at the 4 o’clock position. Despite the added complication, the case maintains a slender 11mm profile, and the watch weighs a moderate 153 grams. Both versions are rated water-resistant to 100 meters.
Regional Availability and Pricing
For now, the new chronographs are exclusive to Singapore, India, and Vietnam. In Singapore, each model is priced at SG$561.35, while in India they carry a retail price of ₹39,900. Citizen has not indicated whether it plans to bring these references to additional markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, or Europe, leaving their status as Asia-only releases for the foreseeable future.
