An Invitation To Happiness
May bells are flowers symbolizing happiness and the arrival of spring. This new collection of CITIZEN L is as graceful as the flowering May bells and invites you to return to happiness.


Welcome to Happiness!
This emotional and refined jewelry watch incorporates the contrast of delicate curves and rich surface that reminds us of May bells. "CITIZEN L May bells" expresses the breath of blooming flowers and the absolute beauty of life under a clear blue sky, as if the rich scent of May bells seems to be wafting in the air.
The gently curving lines of the case combine with lustrous mother-of-pearl dial, inspired by the delicate beauty of May bells. The cluster of four diamonds set into the case highlights the limpid blue of the crown.


A diamond at the 8 o’clock position brings to mind a single glistening raindrop on one of the plant’s bell-shaped flowers. The Roman numeral font on the dial combines classic and modern expression evoking a subtle luxury.
Just like the flowers that are their inspiration, each model evokes feelings of joy and happiness every time you look at your wrist. All models are equipped with CITIZEN’s proprietary light-powered Eco-Drive technology that transforms sunlight and artificial light into energy to power the watch.
