Super Titanium models – Eco-Drive & Automatic

In 2024, Citizen celebrated its 100th anniversary with over 50 years of titanium watch experience

Video transcription
The video showcases a Citizen watch advertisement, starting with the text "Die neue" and transitioning to "Super Titanium Kollektion." It then highlights "SUPER TITANIUM" and introduces the theme "Im Zeichen des japanischen." The advertisement continues with "ZENSHIN," followed by watch close-ups and various watch models. It emphasizes the watch's features: "Hart und robust," "Federleicht," "Widerstandsfähig," and "Sanft und schonend." The video concludes with the tagline "Stilvoll, präzise und robust" and celebrates the "100th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST CITIZEN WATCH."

New chronographs, three-hand models & small seconds

For some, titanium watches have recently become all the rage – for Citizen, they have been on-trend for over 50 years. The traditional Japanese brand presented the world's first titanium watch back in 1970. To this day, watches made from this particularly resistant and lightweight metal are an integral part of the model portfolio.

This year, too, Citizen is presenting 11 new models made of Super Titanium, an in-house development. These include four chronograph models and three three-hand models with Eco-Drive, along with four automatic models with off-centre seconds (small seconds display).

Historic: retro design from the 80s

Citizen drew inspiration for the design of the three new model ranges from its own history. Vintage watches from the 80s were the main influence behind the case shapes and integrated bracelets. The dials in turn pick up on the theme of titanium, with their texture suggesting the crystalline structure of the untreated metal.

The “Small Seconds” – a throwback

It is the most original form of seconds display. In the early days of watchmaking, this was the most common and technically obvious solution for indicating the seconds on pocket watches. For Citizen, it harks back to this time, fitting for the 100th anniversary. As the first Citizen watch from 1924 – a pocket watch – also had this kind of small seconds display.

Super Titanium – advantages & properties

In brief: Super Titanium from Citizen stands for solid pure titanium (grade 2), which achieves five times the surface hardness of stainless steel thanks to a proprietary surface hardening technique (Duratect). It is therefore impervious to scratches, 40 per cent lighter than stainless steel, anti-allergenic (hypoallergenic) and corrosion-resistant. Due to its exceptional properties, Citizen's Super Titanium is even used in Japanese space travel.
