The Citizen EW2298-52L is the Corso that commits. Where the green model splits its bracelet between silver and rose gold, this one runs rose gold-tone across the whole watch — case, bezel and every bracelet link — against a blue dial with silver-tone accents.
That blue-and-rose-gold pairing is the reason to choose it. Blue is the safest dial colour in watchmaking and rose gold is the warmest case finish; together they read as considered rather than default, and the silver detailing on the dial stops the warm tones running away with it.
The case flows seamlessly into an integrated bracelet — no visible lugs, no join, one continuous line from case to clasp. It is rated to 100 metres, which most 27mm women's watches are not. Inside, Eco-Drive Calibre E011 runs on any light with roughly six months of reserve — no battery, ever. 8.8mm thick, date at 3 o'clock, fold-over clasp with hidden push buttons.

Why You'll Love It
- Blue on rose gold is warmer and softer than blue on steel, and less expected than blue on yellow gold. It is the pairing that makes this look chosen rather than picked off a shelf.
- The rose gold runs through the entire watch rather than being confined to accents, so the finish reads as a deliberate decision instead of a compromise.
- Silver-tone detailing on the dial keeps the warm case from overwhelming it — that contrast is what holds the design together and keeps the dial readable.
- The integrated bracelet flows straight out of the case with no visible lugs and no join. It is what makes a 27mm watch read as a bracelet with a dial, and it is rare at this size and price.
- 100 metres of water resistance on a 27mm dress watch is genuinely rare. Most watches this size are rated to 30m and have to come off before a shower — this one handles swimming and snorkelling without a second thought.
- The date window at 3 o'clock is quietly practical. Plenty of watches this size drop it for a cleaner dial and leave you reaching for your phone.
- The fold-over clasp with hidden push buttons keeps the bracelet line unbroken and secures properly, rather than the fiddly pin buckles common at this size.
- It never needs a battery. Eco-Drive converts any light into power, with roughly six months of reserve from a full charge and no service appointments to remember.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the case solid rose gold?
No. The case and bracelet are stainless steel with a rose gold PVD finish applied across the whole watch. PVD bonds the colour to the steel at a molecular level rather than sitting on the surface like paint, so it wears considerably better than a coated finish.
What is an integrated bracelet?
The bracelet flows directly out of the case rather than attaching at conventional lugs, so there is no visible join and no gap. It creates a single continuous line from case to clasp, which is what makes a small watch read as jewellery. It also means the bracelet is specific to this case — you cannot swap it for a standard strap.
Can I swim with this watch?
Yes. With 100-metre (10 BAR) water resistance it is suitable for swimming, showering and snorkelling — unusual for a watch this size, as most 27mm women's watches are rated to 30 metres and should be taken off before water. It is not rated for scuba diving. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater or pool exposure to protect the rose gold-tone finish.
Which Corso should I choose?
Same 27mm case, same Calibre E011, same 100m water resistance and date function — the finish and dial change. The EW2298-52L is fully rose gold-tone with a blue dial, the warmest and most cohesive. The EW2297-55X is rose gold with a green dial and a two-tone bracelet, so it works with both silver and rose gold jewellery. The EW2293-56E is gold-tone with a black dial, the most formal. The EW2293-56D is gold-tone with a mother-of-pearl dial, the softest.
How does Eco-Drive work?
A solar cell beneath the dial converts light into electrical energy and stores it in a rechargeable cell. Any light works — sunlight through a window, office lighting, a lamp. Normal daily wear keeps it running indefinitely, and there is no battery to replace at any point in the watch's life.
What happens if I don't wear it for a while?
A fully charged watch keeps running for approximately six months in complete darkness. If it does stop, leaving it in bright light for a few hours restarts it and you simply reset the time. Storing it face-up near a window rather than in a closed drawer avoids the issue entirely.
What is the insufficient charge warning?
When the charge runs low, the seconds hand starts moving in two-second jumps instead of one. That is the watch telling you it needs light. Place it somewhere bright for a few hours and normal operation resumes.
Is the glass sapphire?
No — this model uses mineral crystal, which resists impact well but will pick up fine scratches over years of daily wear. If sapphire matters to you, the Citizen L range uses it as standard, though at lower water resistance.
Will 27mm suit my wrist?
27mm is a classic women's proportion and suits most wrists, sitting comfortably on slimmer ones where a larger case would overhang. At 8.8mm thick it is slim enough to wear under a sleeve, and the integrated bracelet helps it sit close rather than bridging across the wrist.
How do I care for the rose gold-tone finish?
Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft dry cloth after wear, and keep the watch away from perfume, hairspray and cleaning products — spray those before putting it on. Any coloured finish shows wear more visibly than bare steel, so the clasp and bracelet edges are worth protecting.
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.

The EW2298-52L 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.
