Citizen's New Space-Inspired Watch Hits US and UK Early
Following its official announcment and following listing on Citizen Taiwan's website, the new limited-edition Citizen Attesa satellite watch has now made its way to two off its biggest markets. While Citizen originally announce that the watch would go on sale globally sometime in July, the premium timepeice has already popped up for sale early in both the US and the UK.
Pricing and Availability Details
The Citizen Attesa CC4107-80H Satellite Wave GPS watch is know available for purchase in the US for $2,195. Its also been listed on Citizen UK's online store with a price tag of £1,595. Buyers in Japan will have to wait a bit longer, where its scheduled to land on July 2nd for ¥385,000.
Limited Edition and Design
Citizen is making only 1,800 units of this model available worldwide, and it commands a serious wrist presense with its aggressive "Spaceship Black" aesthetic. The 43.2mm case is forged from dark gray DLC-coated Super Titanium, while the octagonal bezel and the integrated bracelet's center links are crafted from recrystalized titanium, resulting in distinct crystal patterns unique to each watch. To form these natural mineral-like crystalline patterns, Citizen says the titanium is exposed to extreme heat, followed by a cooling process.
Crystalline Dial and Bezel
The crystalline finishing also carries over to the gunmetal grey dial, which features three sub-dials and a neat date window tucked between 4 and 5 o'clock. Moreover, the dial is framed by a ceramic UTC bezel.
Movement and Features
The Attesa CC4107-80H is powered by the Caliber F950, a solar-powered movement with GPS sync functionality. The company says the watch can recieve GPS time signals in as little as three seconds and can automatically adjust to local time zones around the world. In addition, it boasts Citizens Double Direct Flight feature, which lets wearers switch between home and local time in just a couple of steps.
Other notable highlights include a 1/20-second chronograph, perpetual calender, UTC display, daylight saving time support, power reserve and light-level indicators, a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and up to 100 meters of water resistance.
