CITIZEN ATTESA
Limited-edition model inspired by
the new JAXA HTV-X cargo transporter
for the International Space Station
CITIZEN Watch is launching a new model from the CITIZEN ATTESA line of watches equipped with the latest technologies. The design of this exciting new model is inspired by the newly-developed Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) HTV-X cargo transporter for the International Space Station.
CITIZEN ATTESA / Eco-Drive Radio-Controlled JAXA LABEL HTV-X Limited-edition model
1,300 pieces worldwide AT8289-67E
CITIZEN has taken inspiration from this incredible piece of space technology and created a limited-edition model based on one of the most popular models in the ATTESA line-up.
The dial features glittering accents on a black background, creating the image of stars sparkling in the vastness of space. The yellow-gold accents on the hands and indices are the same distinctive color used on the HTV-X, creating a bold contrast and an eye-catching look. The deep blue color of the ring around the dial is taken from the color of the wing-like solar cells on the vehicle. The case and bracelet are made of Super Titanium™*1 finished with Duratect DLC*2, creating a deep black color with a lustrous sheen.
This model is a Eco-Drive*3 Radio-Controlled*4 watch equipped with Direct Flight*5 which allows easy adjustment of the time and date in 26 time zones with just a twist of the crown. It automatically receives time signals in four global regions (Japan, China, USA, Europe). A logo featuring the HTV-X is also engraved on the case back.

- ※1 Super Titanium™ is CITIZEN’s proprietary technology to treat solid titanium with surface hardening technology. It is at least 5 times harder than stainless steel, resistant to scratches, lightweight and gentle to the skin for comfortable wearing.
- ※2 Duratect is CITIZEN’s proprietary surface hardening technology that enhances the surface hardness of metals such as stainless steel and titanium, protecting watch bodies from scratches and damage. This technology offers excellent abrasion quality and maintains the luster of metals for long periods of time. Duratect DLC achieves Vickers hardness of 1,000-1,400 by creating an amorphous carbon hard film—mainly composed of carbon and hydrogen—on the surface of the material. Vickers hardness of stainless steel is approx. 200 HV.
- ※3 Eco-Drive is CITIZEN’s proprietary technology that powers watches using any natural or artificial light source, eliminating the need to replace batteries. Certified as an Eco Mark product for the first time in the watch industry.
- ※4 Radio-controlled watches receive signals from radio transmitters to correct the time and calendar automatically.
- ※5 Direct Flight is a world time function that allows for time zone selection. It enables for easy operation using only the crown to display the time and calendar for locations around the world.
- ※6 The perpetual calendar is a fully automatic calendar control function that automatically adjusts the end of each month, including in leap years, until February 28, 2100.
