Citizen ATTESA HAKUTO-R Atomic Timekeeping / Super Titanium™ AT8287-62E

The story behind this limited-edition ATTESA goes beyond a space-themed dial. HAKUTO-R is a Japanese lunar exploration program, and Citizen's collaboration brings that ambitious project into a watch built around titanium engineering. The dark Super Titanium case and bracelet have a gray DLC finish; the bracelet's center links receive a distinctive recrystallized titanium treatment that gives the metal a texture worth looking at up close.

Limited to 2,900 unnumbered pieces worldwide, this 42 mm chronograph uses Citizen's light-powered H800 movement with radio-controlled time adjustment, world time across 26 time zones, a perpetual calendar and a power-reserve display. It also has sapphire crystal and 100-meter water resistance.

Our Take

The space connection is interesting, but the unusual finish on the titanium is what makes this edition feel different on the wrist. We like that the material treatment tells the story without needing a rocket printed across the dial.
