CITIZEN’s Proprietary Super Titanium™

F
or over 100 years, CITIZEN has been lauded as a brand leader for its technical precision, innovative mindset, quality craftsmanship and excellence in design. Embodying the Japanese mindset of society above self, the brand’s approach is forward-thinking, socially responsible and inclusive, and they create timepieces that provide superior value for all citizens of the world to enjoy.

The resulting material is nearly five times the surface hardness of steel, light weight, hypoallergenic and scratch and rust resistant, making it an ideal component for use in timepieces that are built to last.

One of CITIZEN’s most celebrated innovations dates back to 1970, when the brand pushed the limits of possibility by launching the X-8 Chronometer, the world’s first watch using solid titanium. Relatively unknown at the time, titanium is a space-age metal with incredible properties in terms of hardness and lightness in comparison with stainless steel, yet one that is prone to scratching in its raw form. In order to reconcile these limitations, CITIZEN spent over half a century of research to develop Super Titanium™, which is created when their proprietary surface hardening technology, Duratect, is applied to base titanium. The resulting material is nearly five times the surface hardness of steel, light weight, hypoallergenic and scratch and rust resistant, making it an ideal component for use in timepieces that are built to last. Exclusive to CITIZEN, Super Titanium™ is showcased in the new timepieces being introduced at COUTURE.

CITIZEN ATTESA

Since its 1987 launch, the Attesa has delivered dependable performance via expert titanium-processing know-how and innovative technology, and the latest addition to the collection, in the Attesa CB0217-71E, is no different. 

A scratch-resistant 42.5mm Super Titanium™ case and matching bracelet with DLC coating solidify the lightweight, durable construction of the timepiece, while a blue DLC bezel with a world time scale adds a bold contrast to the dark aesthetic. On the elevated luxury watch’s grained black dial, a time-and-date display is at work, with silver-tone accents adding dimensionality to its date window and other details. Other advanced features include world time in 26 time zones and a perpetual calendar. 

Inside, the CITIZEN caliber H145 drives these functions via light-powered Eco-Drive Atomic Timekeeping, with the timepiece able to self-adjust its time and calendar when traveling overseas by receiving local time signals in four different regions. Water resistant up to 100 meters, the bold chronograph is as ready for effortless travel as it is for hardy wear.
