Citizen has produced technically precise timepieces with an emphasis on craftsmanship for over 100 years. Within that century, the brand has led the watchmaking industry with innovations such as Eco-Drive light-powered technology and titanium timepieces — and now it continues to level up with future-forward models like the ATTESA and ATTESA DLC Blue Universe Limited Edition, which incorporate space-grade technology, and the Series8 831, which sets the bar high within the watch realm.
The ATTESA Blue Universe options are imbued with the model’s over 35-year legacy in mind, but they also introduce new technical features that bring the pieces into a contemporary framework. The ATTESA showcases a 44.5mm Super Titanium™ case, ensuring extreme durability, beauty and comfort with a blue bezel insert and a poly strap. Citizen Super Titanium™ is a next-generation material that’s 5 times harder and 40 percent lighter than stainless steel — it’s a scientific wonder that gives the timepiece a futuristic edge and marries style with strength.
Modern chronograph pushers and bold crown guards juxtapose each other, giving the classic ATTESA visual appeal and a strong sense of duality. On top of its aesthetic features, its functional elements cement the piece as a standout option for everyday wear — whether you’re a street-style expert or a minimalist maven. The ATTESA timepiece, featuring a poly strap, includes the most advanced movement for Eco-Drive Satellite Wave GPS watches and delivers the world’s fastest time-only signal as well.
The ATTESA DLC Blue Universe Limited Edition 44mm features a surface-hardening technology, DURATECT DLC, that yields a glossy dark blue hue and is highly resistant to scratches. Other visual elements include an integrated case and bracelet for a sleek look, a jet black dial and glittering accents inspired by a galaxy of stars. The models are also sustainably powered by Eco-Drive, Citizen’s proprietary light-powered technology that never needs a battery, and are satellite GPS synchronized.
The Series8 is another one of Citizen’s modern, luxury innovations, and like the ATTESA options, each is heavily informed by the brand’s century-old legacy. Watch collectors praise the collection as a “mechanical wonder” due to its detailed craftsmanship and artistic elements, which are heavily informed by rich Japanese techniques.
Featuring an icy blue, angular dial, a transparent case back and an octagonal case, the Series8 831 presents the best of the watchmaker’s polished finishing techniques. It shares some of the same trusty features as the ATTESA, like water resistance, but its distinctively stylish crystal blue dial categorizes it in a class of its own. Its in-house Caliber movement allows for independent adjustment of the hour hand — so you can also tailor the watch specifically to your lifestyle and daily schedule. The ATTESA and the Series8 models integrate seamlessly into trendy ensembles, or alternatively, they can be worn as a finishing touch to a polished suit or black tie ensemble.
