Citizen has taken its fascination with space exploration to the next level with the release of three new ATTESA timepieces. These limited-edition models—CC4067-66E, AT8287-62E, and CB0285-63E—celebrate the brand’s ongoing partnership with HAKUTO-R, the lunar exploration program spearheaded by ispace, inc. With an aesthetic that mirrors the mysteries of the moon and a level of craftsmanship that defines Citizen, these watches are destined to become collector’s pieces.
Designed with the Cosmos in Mind
Central to the allure of these timepieces is the use of recrystallized titanium, a material that Citizen has elevated to an art form. The unique crystal patterns etched into the titanium evoke the rugged, cratered surface of the moon, ensuring that no two watches are alike. The deep black dials, punctuated by reflective silver accents, create a striking visual reminiscent of light glinting off lunar surfaces.
But the design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a nod to Citizen’s Super Titanium™ technology, which has already found its way to space as a component of HAKUTO-R’s Mission 1 and will accompany Mission 2, slated for launch in late 2024.
Precision in Every Detail
True to Citizen’s ethos, these watches are more than just beautiful—they’re marvels of engineering. The flagship CC4067-66E features Citizen’s F950 movement, the fastest GPS satellite signal reception technology on the market, delivering accurate timekeeping in a mere 3 seconds.
The AT8287-62E and CB0285-63E models are equally impressive, equipped with Radio-Controlled Eco-Drive technology and Direct Flight functionality. This allows wearers to adjust time zones across 26 global cities effortlessly, making these watches as functional as they are stylish.
A Touch of the Moon on Your Wrist
Each timepiece is emblazoned with the HAKUTO-R logo on its case back, cementing its connection to Citizen’s lunar exploration endeavors. It’s a subtle yet significant detail that ties the watches to the broader narrative of space exploration.
Exclusivity and Collectibility
With production numbers limited to 2,300 pieces for the CC4067-66E, 2,900 for the AT8287-62E, and 1,900 for the CB0285-63E, these watches are destined to become cherished additions to any enthusiast’s collection. Prices start at $1,750, making this collection accessible yet undeniably exclusive.
Citizen’s Journey Beyond Earth
Citizen’s collaboration with HAKUTO-R isn’t just about creating beautiful timepieces—it’s about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. These watches symbolize the perfect blend of innovation, craftsmanship, and the human spirit of exploration.
