After fueling the indie watch brand explosion for years with its Miyota movements, Citizen got in on the action when it debuted the Tsuoysa in 2022. Its attractive all-purpose looks, quality build and, above all, low price immediately made the Japanese watchmaker a serious contender in the highly competitive “affordable automatic” market.
Over the following few years, the collection expanded with an enhanced movement and a smaller 37mm case size. Then, in early 2026, Citizen branched out with the Tsuyosa Shore. Inspired by 1960s skin divers, it added a unidirectional rotating bezel, a more legible handset and doubled the water resistance to 100m.
Less than five months after its introduction, the Tsuyosa Shore collection is expanding with a new color scheme that, quite honestly, blows away the two debut references. It is a classic black-and-gilt motif that always looks fantastic on a dive watch.
You may recognize the new look from the limited edition Tsuyosa Time Slip released in 2025. It features the same rose gold-tone plating on the hands and indices, with a matching printed dash track encircling the dial.
It’s the bezel, which doesn’t exist on the standard Tsuyosa, that drives home the black-and-gilt motif. The aluminum bezel insert, set in a stainless steel unidirectional frame, is black with a rose gold-tone 60-minute track, featuring a fully graduated 15-minute segment.
