The 40mm diameter titanium case is 12.2mm thick and houses the A060 Eco-Drive calibre with an annual accuracy of ±5 seconds, perpetual calendar, and independently adjustable hour hand. This model is a limited edition of 200 units and I would expect this to be available globally in countries that stock The CITIZEN range.
