STAR CITIZEN ORION SERIES
Thus, the Ambiluna EM100 series uses natural and/or artificial light sources to power the analog-quartz movement, forsaking the need to replace the battery.
Within Citizen’s collection, the Ambiluna is billed for leveraging the brand’s proprietary Eco-Drive technology. Sealing off each dial is sapphire glass, which is an artificial glass as hard as natural sapphire with 0% impurities and outstanding longevity. On the EM100 dials, all diamonds used are lab-grown, ethical, and in a round brilliant cut. As such, they also share an uncommon crown placement at 8 o’clock. All three models share the same case shape, measuring 34.0mm in diameter and 7.1mm thick. In addition, each model comes with an interchangeable mesh bracelet in a matching metal tone. The ECOPET straps are breathable, hand-washable, and adjustable for any wrist size. The material is then knitted into straps using the seam-free WHOLEGARMENT method, a third-party proprietary technology that minimizes the amount of yarn used. ECOPET promises reduced CO2 emissions while offering superior stretch and durability. The ultra-lightweight fabric is upcycled from clothing and plastic-bottle waste. The knitted straps are made from a polyester-woven textile called ECOPET. The black stainless steel case is matched with a black knitted strap. At 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock are four diamond markers, while a gold index sits at 10 o’clock to mark the collection’s 10th anniversary. The limited-edition Fire model features a grain-like black and red dial. Its rose-gold-tone stainless steel case is styled with a brown knitted strap. The Earth model features a brown dial with geometric lines and also a diamond marker at 12 o’clock. Its two-tone stainless steel case is fitted with a beige knitted strap. The Air model features a shimmery opaline face with subtle vertical stripes and a diamond marker at 12 o’clock. The time-only dials are currently available in three different colorways for Europe. Citizen jointly developed these dials with Fujifilm by using this novel ink for the first time in watchmaking. They only appear when light shines on the microstructures of the ink, which reflects specific wavelengths of light, thereby producing dazzling iridescence on the dials. The ink produces the phenomenon of structural (non-pigmentary) coloration seen on certain insects and animal species such as Morpho butterfly wings and peacock feathers.Īs such, the colors on the EM100 watch dials do not come from conventional pigments. Citizen has used an innovative structural-color ink developed by Fujifilm Corporation. The result is the Ambiluna EM100 that delivers both aesthetical appeal and wearing comfort.įor the three new Ambiluna models, biomimicry takes the form of structural colors that are found in nature. By infusing natural beauty and structures of living things into designs, Citizen believes it can make watches better and more organic. The purpose of it was to incorporate biomimicry into the creation. Shin-Ichi Fukuoka to supervise the design process for the three new models. To achieve that, Citizen solicited the help of biologist Dr. With a name combining the prefix “ambi” of “ambient” and “luna” for the moon, it seems fitting that the Ambiluna EM100 series aims to sync us with nature. Calling it “a new style of luxury watch”, the Japanese giant says the backbone of the Ambiluna is fusing style with respect for the planet and people.
The Fire model is a limited edition to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Citizen L.Ĭitizen L is a collection that has been touting sustainable manufacturing ever since the introduction of the Ambiluna line in 2016. The three new EM100 models take inspiration for their design themes from the universal elements of Air, Earth, and Fire. The Ambiluna EM100 boasts light-powered Eco-Drive technology, lab-grown ethical diamonds, and knitted fabric straps made of recycled ECOPET material. Citizen has released a new ethical watch series in its sustainable-concept women’s collection, Citizen L.
