Powerful design and advanced technology drive the new luxury ATTESA. Since its 1987 launch, ATTESA has incorporated titanium-processing know-how and features innovative, world-first technologies that will continue to shape the future. This new limited-edition ATTESA features a 44.6mm Super Titanium™ case in platinum DLC, with sharp facets and fine finishing elevating the look alongside a unique triple-link bracelet featuring crystallized titanium center links. A dual-spherical sapphire crystal adds high clarity to the chronograph's dial details, where black and applied accents upon another crystallized surface present a striking statement on the wrist.\r\r\n\r\r\nThis ATTESA features the most advanced movement for Eco-Drive Satellite Wave GPS watches and delivers the world’s fastest time-only signal reception in as little as 3 seconds. Other advanced features include world time in 27 cities (40 time zones), a chronograph, dual time zones, (UTC) universal coordinated time display, a perpetual calendar, as well as daylight savings time, and power reserve and light level indicators. This distinctive chronograph utilizes our proprietary Eco-Drive technology that’s sustainably powered by any light and never needs a battery. Water resistant up to 100 meters. Caliber F950.\r\r\n\r\r\nLimited to 2,200 unnumbered pieces worldwide.

This watch is stunning. Looks much better in person than in photos. It is large, but the black bezel/silver chapter ring/black ring around the dial combination makes it appear much smaller than its dimensions would suggest. I do have a larger wrist though so I'm not bothered either way. The finishing on this watch is excellent. The dial has an awesome effect to it that matches the bracelet center links quite nicely. Speaking of the center links, the effect is quite subtle in most lights, which is kind of nice. The dial is eye-catching enough; it doesn't need loud center links to make an attractive watch. But the recrystallized titanium center links are there nonetheless, and the accentuate the H-link bracelet style nicely in my opinion. Not my first F950 Attesa, as I also have the black and gold Hakuto-R CC4016-75E. Functionality on these watches is amazing. Satellite works like a charm in seconds, chronograph is there if you need it, alarm works but is not very loud. Citizen has flattened out the bezel on these newer Attesas, including this Platinum Shine model, which I think makes this watch wear thinner than my Hakuto-R (it is actually a little thinner too, since it doesn't have a commemorative case back, but I think the bezel is actually doing more visual work in the appearance of thinness than the case back). In sum, I love this watch. It's fantastically comfortable, perfectly accurate, looks incredible, and I've been wearing it non-stop since it arrived. As much as I love the black and gold Hakuto-R, I have to say this one is much more suited to daily wear.
