Citizen Super Titanium ™ on Earth and in space

Posted 9 April 2020 by Miriam

In 1970, Citizen introduced the very first watch on Earth made entirely of titanium. And in 2021, Citizen Super Titanium ™ will go into space! Because the hardening technology for titanium that Citizen developed 50 years ago makes the material ideally suited to cover the HakutoR iSpace lunar lander.

Tougher than steel

Titanium is by nature a fairly soft material, which made it less suitable for making watches. Until Citizen developed the Duractect technology, with which titanium can be hardened. This makes the material up to five times harder than stainless steel. Thus, scratch-resistant and easy to process into beautifully designed watches.

More benefits of Super Titanium ™

Titanium itself has very favourable properties. It is anti-allergenic - it does not react with the skin. It is also lightweight; up to 40% lighter than steel. This has made Super Titanium ™ the ideal material for anyone looking for a strong, scratch resistant, lightweight watch since 1970. Its strength and light weight also make Super Titanium ™ particularly suitable for spaceships components. That is why Citizen has partnered with the Japanese space company Hakuto R, which has a mission to the moon for 2021.

On time everywhere on earth with Radio Control

50 years of Super Titanium ™ combined with Eco-Drive solar energy and Radio-control brings us the special series of CB0190 anniversary edition watches.

A comfortable, durable, lightweight watch in a classic sporty style, with a beautiful dial engraved with the meridians of the globe. Because with this watch you are on time everywhere on earth. Thanks to the Citizen Radio Control technology, you can be sure that your watch always shows the correct time and date.

The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal and is 10 ATM water resistant.
