Citizen has released a new Disney-branded watch in the UK market. The Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Picnic Pedal watch, identified by model number FE7097-05W, is available now on the Citizen UK website for £229.00.

Design Details

The watch features a 36mm case constructed from silver-tone stainless steel. The case size falls into a mid-range dimension that accommodates a wide variety of wrist sizes. The dial is covered by a mineral crystal, a standard material in this price category that provides basic scratch resistance.

The watch comes with a textured navy blue leather strap secured by a standard metal buckle. Citizen rates the watch as splash-resistant, meaning it can handle minor exposure to water, such as light rain or splashes while washing hands. However, it is not designed for swimming, showering, or submersion in water.

The dial design incorporates a sky-blue background featuring an illustration by Disney artists John and Shelley Loter. The artwork depicts Mickey and Minnie Mouse riding a tandem bicycle equipped with picnic baskets.

Instead of standard numeric indices, the dial utilizes vintage-style floral markers to indicate the hours. The watch operates with a basic three-hand function, displaying hours, minutes, and seconds. It does not include a date window or other mechanical complications.

Internally, the watch is powered by Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology. This system uses a specialized light-catching panel located beneath the dial to absorb both natural sunlight and artificial indoor light, converting it into electrical energy.

This energy is stored in an internal rechargeable cell that powers the quartz movement. The primary utility of the Eco-Drive system is that it bypasses the need for routine battery replacements, allowing the watch to operate continuously provided it receives adequate and regular light exposure.

In related news, Citizen has recently launched a super-premium red-dial Eco-Drive watch limited to just 350 pieces, alongside a 1970s-inspired gold-tone Zenshin watch with a Super Titanium build.
