Spend a Day with Dylan Kelly and the Citizen ATTESA JAXA HTV-X H800
The Hypebeast editor takes us through a busy day at NYFW in the innovative timepiece, which features Super Titanium™ and Eco-Drive technology.
Citizen watches are made to move with you, whether you’re traveling, getting active or even hitting New York Fashion Week in style. The watchmaker’s ATTESA line features pieces that blend Citizen’s titanium mastery with innovations that look to the future, and its JAXA HTV-X model takes advanced technology to a whole new level. But the watch is equally stylish as it is functional, making it the ideal option for a day spent rushing between fashion shows, presentations and everything in between.
The ATTESA JAXA HTV-X H800 was crafted in partnership with the JAXA Space Program — which functions as the NASA of Japan — honoring the next-generation HTV-X cargo spacecraft. The piece is heavily informed by the technology of the future, but aside from its technical specifications, its visually appealing design features cement it as a fashionable go-to.

The ATTESA’s 42mm dial showcases glittering accents on a midnight black background, alluding to a sky full of sparkling stars. The piece’s dial also includes a perpetual calendar with day and date indicators for 12/24 hour timekeeping. It’s also scratch and corrosion-resistant due to its DLC Super Titanium™ case and bracelet, making the offering just as durable as it is sleek. Super Titanium™ is a proprietary Citizen material made by treating titanium with Duratect, a proprietary surface-hardening technology. Additional technical features include radio-controlled time when traveling overseas, Eco-Drive power — Citizen’s proprietary artificial or natural light-powered technology that never requires a battery — and water resistance up to 100m.
For the first busy day of fashion week, Dylan paired the watch model with a tailored suit, loafers and a practical tote bag. The dependable accessory and its space-inspired design gave his ensemble just the right amount of shine, and powered him through a hectic day.
