Featuring Super Titanium™, born from proprietary titanium processing technology and the Duratect surface hardening treatment.

CITIZEN ATTESA, the flagship of CITIZEN's titanium technology, introduces two collaboration models with the private lunar exploration program "HAKUTO-R": the CC4016-75E and AT8185-71E. "HAKUTO-R" plans to conduct two missions—lunar landing and lunar exploration—by developing its own lander and rover. CITIZEN will provide Super Titanium™ for the lander's landing gear components for this program.
The CC4016-75E, expressing the "moon's soft light," uses an elegant gold-colored Duratect MRK Gold on parts of the case and band. The lustrous black of Duratect DLC applied to parts of the bezel and band creates a beautiful contrast, expressing the moon's shadows. The sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position, made of mother-of-pearl that subtly changes with light, represents the "shifting shadows." The case back features a design image of the "HAKUTO-R" lander touching down on the lunar surface, a unique touch for a collaboration model.
Inside the 44.3mm diameter case lies the F950, the top-tier movement for Eco-Drive GPS satellite-controlled watches. It receives signals in as little as 3 seconds for time information only, and displays the corrected time by moving the main time's hour and minute hands at twice the usual speed. Furthermore, it is a full-spec model equipped with充実した functions as a top-tier movement, including dual time display and chronograph. It allows for simultaneous display and one-step switching of home and local times, and features a 1/20-second chronograph.
The AT8185-71E, expressing the "moon's darkness," uses Super Titanium™ material treated with Duratect DLC, a scratch-resistant surface hardening technology, for its lustrous black case and bracelet. It features a three-dimensional, deep dial representing the lunar surface, with a sub-dial at the 6 o'clock position—mother-of-pearl backed in black—and glitter applied to the outer circumference to depict stars shining in space. Gold-colored hands and accent colors on the bezel and crown express light piercing the darkness. This model, featuring the "HAKUTO-R" logo engraved on the case back, is an Eco-Drive radio-controlled watch with world time functionality.
