Default Calling Yoza and all watch experts!!

I'm interested in the watch below. Its Titanium with Atomic timekeeping and a solar charging face so it doesn't have a battery.

Citizen Skyhawk A-T - JY0010-50E

I've heard on the internet that there is a Japanese version of this watch which is identical spec, only the orange writing on the face is white. Has anybody any idea how I could track down the Japanese version of this watch?

Cheers,

Craig.

I am not a watch expert, by a long chalk.

That Citizen is a busy watch, good price too.

So far as I know all Citizens are Japanese.

I think it certainly should be classed as a 'wrist instrument' rather than a 'wrist watch'.

I like busy gadgety watches though.

Thanks for the reply Yoza,

I've found the watch.

Japanese Version

It's part of a limited run of 3000 pieces and costs a hell of a lot more than the UK version. I'm not to keen on the black finish on the case / bracelet either. I'll stick to the UK version I think.

Many thanks,

Craig.
