Citizen Tsuno Chrono x Ibanez Tube Screamer (TSTCC808)

JDM Limited Edition (Only 500 units worldwide)

The Citizen Tsuno Chrono TSTCC808 is much more than just a watch: it is a high-precision tribute to the history of rock. This exclusive Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) piece fuses cult watchmaking with the most legendary overdrive pedal of all time: the Ibanez Tube Screamer.

🎸 The Legacy: Two Icons of the ’70s Merged on Your Wrist

In the 1970s, two legends were born that changed their respective industries forever:

• Citizen “Tsuno Chrono” (1973): Citizen’s first true chronograph. Its bold design, with the crown and pushers on top of the case (rather than on the right side), earned it the worldwide nickname “Bullhead”. An ergonomic design that remains an undisputed retro classic.
• Ibanez “Tube Screamer”: The green pedal that revolutionized music, delivering the warm and dynamic overdrive sound that defined rock and blues. From Stevie Ray Vaughan to Kirk Hammett, no guitar great has done without it.

The TSTCC808 fuses both worlds. Its goal: to translate the indescribable sensation of turning an amplifier’s knobs into the everyday act of checking the time.

🎨 Design details for music lovers and collectors

Meticulously inspired by the design of the flagship hand-wired pedal (TS808HWV2), this watch exudes a love for detail:

• The legendary Tube Screamer Green: The dial features the exact deep green hue of the pedal. A finish that shimmers under light yet remains elegant and versatile for everyday wear.
• “Effect Knob” Sub-dials: The three sub-dials visually mimic the pedal’s knobs and bear their original labels: DRIVE (60-minute counter), TONE (12-hour indicator), and LEVEL (small seconds hand).
• Rock-inspired case back: When you turn the watch over, the back cover features engraved Ibanez and Tube Screamer logos, accompanied by a recreation of the legendary jack inputs labeled INPUT and OUTPUT.
• Collector’s Packaging: It comes in an exclusive case that mimics the TS808HWV2 pedal box and includes a high-quality original graphic card featuring the pedal’s artwork.
