The Dial Brief verified the exact reference against Citizen product pages. The 41 mm watch includes a GMT hand, date, sapphire crystal, 100-metre water-resistance rating and a stated 50-hour power reserve.

Citizen market pages disagree on whether the worldwide edition is 1,300 or 1,400 pieces, so the production count remains unresolved. Regional price and availability should also be checked against the active local listing.
