The watch has a 41mm stainless steel case and a textured dial inspired by the windows of skyscrapers and from a traditional Japanese checkered pattern. The limited edition has a gold-plated case and bracelet, and a pale golden dial with an intricate pattern that resembles the gentle rays of the sun on an autumn evening. The dial is available in three colors: black, blue, or gold. Each color is paired with a different bezel color. The bi-directional rotating bezel has a 24-hour scale with day/night indication. The GMT function of this timepiece follows the true GMT design, enabling the hour hand to jump forward in one-hour intervals without affecting the minute or 24-hour hand. The watch is powered by the Citizen caliber 0954 automatic movement with a 50-hour power reserve.
