The CITIZEN L Rainell women’s model is the result of blending the brand’s timeless appeal with advanced technological features — and, of course, it’s not lacking when it comes to style, making it the ideal pairing for holiday season looks or a girl’s night out. The model’s dial features an eye-catching teardrop shape, accompanied by a stainless steel integrated bracelet and a synthetic sapphire-set crown.

The timepiece is inspired by the brand’s Tokyo design archives, reviving a vintage-inspired shape for the modern woman who seeks timeless pieces that still wield a powerful contemporary edge. The piece’s name is a poetic blend of the words “Rain” and “Bella,” or beautiful, evoking the renewing beauty of rainfall.

As today’s discerning collectors highly covet smaller, vintage watch dials, CITIZEN’s design team embraces this re-emergence through its designs. The watch’s dial is brushed with hairline finishing, reminiscent of delicate streams of rain. A voluminous three-row bracelet and classic indexes balance these softer touches.

Each CITIZEN L Rainell watch is also sustainably powered by any light — whether natural or artificial — due to CITIZEN’s proprietary Eco-Drive technology. Tapping into a rich fall color palette, the watch comes in four tonal or monochromatic variations: stainless steel with a silver-tone dial, stainless steel with a rich purple dial, gold-tone stainless steel with a matching gold-tone dial and rose gold-tone stainless steel with a dark olive green dial.
