The Citizen Spider-Man Swings showcases original dial artwork by Marvel artist Adam Kubert, depicting Spider-Man swinging above the New York City skyline. Housed in a 43mm gray ion-plated stainless steel case with a matching bracelet, the watch features an embossed dial with fully luminous 3D webbing that adds depth to the design. Powered by Citizen's Eco-Drive J810 movement, the timepiece runs on any light source and includes a three-hand display, date window, mineral crystal, and 100 meters of water resistance.
Additional details include a caseback engraved with Spider-Man's signature "THWIP" sound effect and a collectible pin accompanying the watch. The monochromatic finish emphasizes the sculpted dial while maintaining a clean overall aesthetic suited for everyday wear. The Citizen Spider-Man Swings is available now, with orders scheduled to begin shipping on July 29.
