Citizen watches launches new Forza Collection

Citizen Watches is building on its series of integrated bracelet watches with the new Forza line, which gets its name from the Italian word for “strength.” This comes hot off the heels of the previous Citizen watches Tsuyoga line, which means “strength” in Japanese (we see what they did there.)

The new Citizen watches Forza collection has three variants: the Forza Chrono, the Forza Three-Hand, and the Forza Mechanical. Each watch from the Citizen Forza line is made with the brand’s exclusive Super Titanium, which has certainly become more popular this year, even to the point where it’s considered a luxury alternative to stainless steel. It’s more gray than steel and is famous for its scratch resistance, being lightweight, and exceptionally shiny finish. Two of the new Forza models feature solar-powered Eco-Drive quartz movements, while the third is powered by an automatic caliber.

The 3 new Citizen Forza watches all throw it back to the 70s with angular cases, and round bezels, a la “Jaws” and “Apocalypse Now.” Each of these Citizen watches is made with Duratect surface-hardening technology to make the watches incredibly durable while the tapered bracelets feature Y-shaped links and folding clasps. Additionally, they come with sapphire crystal, luminous hands, and indices as well as 100-meter water resistance.

The Forza Chrono

Despite trends going toward smaller watch dials, Citizen watches added the Forzo Chrono to their collection, which is the largest model in the series at 42.5mm in diameter and 11.5mm in thickness. Of course, some people simply have their taste and don’t really care about trends, and we say more power to them. It comes in three colors: white, light blue, and salmon with a black tachymeter ring on the edge giving a panda effect that is certainly a love-it-or-hate-it aesthetic, there are no gray areas. The Forza Chrono is powered by the Eco-Drive Caliber B620 and can run up to 9 months on a full charge.

The Forza Three-Hand

This watch comes in at a much smaller 39mm in diameter (for those who stick to the trends like their life depends on it) and is 10mm thick. The Forza Three-Hand is powered by the solar-driven Eco-Drive Caliber J800 and also has a 9-month power reserve.

The Forza Mechanical

The Forza Mechanical rounds out the collection in white, blue, or light blue options, while the blue dial is the only one with a black minute track on the edge. The titanium case is 40.5mm in diameter and 11mm thick and features a transparent caseback. Inside, the Forza Mechanical features the Caliber 8213 automatic movement, which comes with a 45-hour power reserve and 21 jewels.

Are you a Mustang guy? Putting the top down and letting the wind blow through your hair as you cruise the Pacific Coast Highway from Seattle to San Diego. Or a Shelby GT-500, an Eleanor of your own, trying to reach top speed with nothing but freedom in the pedal. Maybe you are a Thunderbird guy, cruising through town in your '55 with the white walls and listening to the Four Seasons with your girl on your arm. Or maybe you are an F-150 guy. No nonsense, hardworking, gets stuff done before going home for an iced tea on the back porch watching the sunset. Either way, there is nothing more American than a Ford. And their new collaboration with Pacsun takes us back to 1970s America. The Pacsun x Ford collection consists of jackets, tees, hats, and shorts that have a distinctly Motor City feel. But there is one piece that feels more symbolic than the rest.

H. Moser & Cie welcomes Easter with a new vibrant yellow color reminiscent of the Easter spirit, focusing on colorful eggs. The brand's latest watch campaign answers this question: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

According to H.Moser & Cie, there was no first, no last—only the now, which is represented via this new model, the Pioneer Centre Seconds Sunny-Side Up. While the watch stands out thanks to its yellow color, the hue darkens towards the edges from a vibrant yellow shade into a more black color, creating a beautiful contrast between different sections.
