Citizen’s Most Advanced Attesa F950 Eco-Drive Satellite Wave GPS Watch
In a world where precision and innovation converge, Citizen has once again raised the bar with the introduction of its latest Eco-Drive Satellite Wave GPS models from the hi-tech Attesa collection. The Attesa line was launched in 1987 and marries the brand’s superior titanium processing with world-first technologies.
Powered by Citizen’s proprietary Eco-Drive technology, these watches harness the boundless energy of any natural or artificial light source, eliminating the need for battery replacements. This feat has earned the Eco-Drive technology the prestigious Eco Mark certification, a clear demonstration of Citizen’s dedication to sustainability. Furthermore, the integration of GPS satellite synchronization ensures great precision, capturing date and time signals from orbiting satellites 20,000 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, bringing ultra-accurate timekeeping to every corner of the globe.
Citizen has two new Attesa models in vivid colorways, the CC4059-64L and CC4074-61W. The CC4059-64L model captivates with its sleek black case adorned with fascinating blue-violet stripes on the dial and a sapphire bezel. This celestial-inspired aesthetic evokes the vastness of outer space. Adding to the allure, the city names that grace the bezel have been expertly applied using vapor deposition, which provides a more brilliant color than traditional printing techniques and results in a cool silver color that reflects light with brilliance.
The CC4074-61W model, on the other hand, exudes an air of sophistication with its black sapphire bezel adorned with city names finished in an alluring pink-gold hue. The Duratect Pink accents on the bezel’s edges, combined with the gold-toned hands and indices, create an eye-catching contrast that demands attention. The elegant copper-toned dial, accentuated by a bold sunray pattern and a captivating metallic finish, adds depth and dimension to this model.
Crafted from Super Titanium, a proprietary surface hardening technology, the cases and bracelets of both watches boast exceptional durability and resistance to scratches. This innovative material is at least five times harder and 40 percent lighter than stainless steel, ensuring that these watches withstand the rigors of daily wear while remaining lightweight and comfortable on the wrist.
Furthermore, the application of Duratect DLC, another Citizen-exclusive technology, enhances the surface hardness of the Super Titanium creating an amorphous carbon hard film that protects the watches from scratches and damage. This treatment not only fortifies the watches’ resilience but also imparts a distinctive lustrous black sheen, adding an element of sophistication to their overall aesthetic.
The luminous hands and indices ensure that the time remains clearly visible, even in low-light environments. The dual spherical sapphire glass, treated with an anti-reflective coating, further enhances the watches’ durability and legibility. This advanced material not only provides superior scratch resistance for active lifestyle, but also ensures optimal clarity.
At the heart of these technical watches lies the F950 movement, Citizen’s most advanced caliber for light-powered Eco-Drive Satellite Wave GPS watches. This cutting-edge movement boasts the world’s fastest time-only signal reception, capable of capturing GPS satellite signals in as little as three seconds. This blazing fast speed ensures that the hour and minute hands move rapidly, displaying the correct time with unrivaled precision, no matter where you are on the globe. Easy adjustment of time across 39 time zones with a simple twist of the crown ensures that you remain synchronized with local times wherever your journey takes you.
Moreover, the Double Direct Flight function allows for the simultaneous display of times in two cities – your home time and the local time. This convenient feature is complemented by a dual time function, enabling you to switch between these time displays with just two simple steps, making it effortless to stay in sync with multiple time zones.
Beyond its impressive timekeeping capabilities, the F950 movement also boasts a range of additional features that further elevate the user experience. The perpetual calendar function automatically adjusts for months with varying lengths, including leap years, ensuring accurate date tracking until February 28, 2100. Additionally, the 1/20-second chronograph measures up to 24 hours, catering to those who demand precise timing for activities.
One of the standout features of these Attesa models is its intelligent power management system, which ensures optimal performance and longevity. The Light Level Indicator, a unique feature developed by Citizen, detects and displays the intensity of light striking the dial in seven distinct levels. This innovative technology allows wearers to easily gauge the charge level of their watch in any given situation, enabling them to make informed decisions about exposing the timepiece to light sources for optimal charging. The Power Reserve Indicator provides a clear visual representation of the remaining power reserve, ensuring that you never find yourself caught off guard by a depleted battery.
Finally, 100 meters of water resistance ensures the watch can withstand exposure without compromising performance.
The Attesa F950, with its unparalleled precision and advanced features, solidifies Citizen’s position as a true leader in the world of hi-tech watches.
