Citizen is expanding its Disney watch lineup for collectors with the Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse Timeless Treasure Set, a new package that groups three character watches into one release. The set uses the brand's Eco-Drive movement, which turns natural and artificial light into power so owners do not need regular battery swaps.
One included design, Mickey Mouse Flutterby, uses a mother-of-pearl dial with butterfly artwork for a more decorative take on a character watch. The novelty is the package rather than every watch in it, since Flutterby first appeared in February 2026. A navy presentation box with matching pins keeps the pieces together as a display or gift set.
With only 300 sets worldwide, Citizen turns a Disney watch release into a scarcity-driven buy aimed at collectors. At $1,295 on its U.S. website, the package moves licensed watches further into memorabilia, where exclusivity and presentation matter alongside timekeeping.
