The Citizen PC1017-88Y is a limited edition from the Sakura Limited Collection, and the cherry blossom theme runs right through it. The white mother of pearl dial carries a pink gradation inspired by overlapping petals, so the colour deepens and softens across the surface like blossoms layered on a branch.
The open-heart aperture at 7 o'clock is cut in the shape of a cherry blossom — not a plain round window. Through it you can watch the balance wheel of the Calibre 8229 automatic oscillating, and a see-through case back opens the whole movement to view from behind.
The 34mm stainless steel case is finished in Citizen's Sakura pink gold plating, measures 11.1mm thick and weighs 94 grams. The movement is self-winding with hand-winding, holding roughly 40 hours of reserve, accurate to -20 to +40 seconds a day. Sapphire glass protects the dial, and it's water resistant to 100 metres — unusually robust for a dress watch this delicate.

Why You'll Love It
- The open heart is cut in the shape of a cherry blossom rather than a plain circle — the theme carried properly through the design instead of stopping at the dial colour.
- The pink gradation across the mother of pearl mimics overlapping petals, so the dial shifts in tone as well as shimmering with the natural iridescence of the shell.
- Mother of pearl is a natural material, so every dial has its own pattern. No two watches in the edition are quite alike.
- Through the open heart you can watch the balance wheel oscillating, and the see-through case back opens the whole movement to view from behind — two windows onto the mechanics.
- The movement can be hand-wound as well as self-winding, so you can start it quickly after it's been sitting rather than waiting for wrist motion to build the reserve.
- Sakura pink gold plating is Citizen's own shade, warmer and softer than a standard rose gold tone, and chosen to match the cherry blossom theme.
- 100 metres of water resistance is genuinely unusual on a delicate mechanical dress watch — most are rated 30m or 50m, so this handles everyday life with far less caution.
- No battery, ever. The movement winds itself from the natural motion of your wrist.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an open-heart dial?
An aperture cut into the dial — here at the 7 o'clock position — that exposes part of the movement beneath. On this watch the opening is cut in the shape of a cherry blossom, so the theme carries through to the mechanics. You can watch the balance wheel oscillating as the watch runs.
What is a mother of pearl dial?
Mother of pearl is the natural iridescent lining found inside certain shells. Cut into thin slices and used as a dial, it produces a soft, shifting shimmer that changes with the light and viewing angle. Here it also carries a pink gradation across its surface, inspired by overlapping cherry blossom petals.
What does "automatic" mean?
An automatic watch is powered by the natural movement of your wrist — a rotor inside the case winds the mainspring as you wear it, so no battery is needed. This movement also supports hand-winding via the crown, so you can start it quickly if it has been sitting unworn.
How long does the power reserve last?
Approximately 40 hours when fully wound, so it keeps running for well over a day after you take it off. Regular daily wear keeps it continuously wound.
How accurate is a mechanical watch?
This movement is rated at -20 to +40 seconds per day, which is normal for a mechanical watch of this type. Mechanical movements aren't as precise as quartz by design — expect to reset the time every week or two. The appeal is the craftsmanship and the visible movement.
Can I see the movement?
Yes, from both sides. The blossom-shaped open heart on the dial shows the balance wheel, and a see-through case back opens the full movement to view from behind.
Is the case solid gold?
No. The case and bracelet are stainless steel finished in Citizen's Sakura pink gold plating — a soft, warm pink-gold shade chosen to suit the cherry blossom theme, with the durability and price of a steel watch.
Can I swim with this watch?
At 100 metres it's rated well beyond what a dress watch normally offers, so swimming is within its capability. As with any mechanical watch, avoid operating the crown while wet and have the seals checked periodically at service.
Does a mechanical watch need servicing?
Yes. Unlike a quartz watch, an automatic has moving parts and lubricants that wear over time. Citizen recommends periodic servicing to keep timekeeping and water resistance within spec. Any City Chain outlet can arrange this — bring your warranty card.
Will 34mm fit my wrist?
34mm is a comfortably proportioned women's case size and suits most wrist sizes well. At 11.1mm thick and 94 grams it has a little more presence than a quartz watch of the same diameter — that's what accommodates the mechanical movement inside.
Is the bracelet adjustable?
Yes. The bracelet can be resized by adding or removing links. City Chain offers complimentary bracelet sizing at any outlet — bring your warranty book along for the service.
What warranty does this watch come with?
The PC1017-88Y comes with a 3-year warranty when purchased from City Chain Singapore, an authorised Citizen retailer. Keep your warranty card and proof of purchase — both are required when submitting the watch for service at any City Chain outlet.
