LYNDHURST, N.J., Aug. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Citizen Watch Company of America, Inc. (COA) introduces a new limited edition watch with CITIZEN Brand Ambassador, two-time grand slam tennis champion, Victoria Azarenka.

The watch is part of CITIZEN's Ecosphere collection, a fashion forward and bold line that will first debut this fall.
