Citizen is a name in horology that is synonymous with its premium materials and classic style. Until now, the brand has shied away from futuristic visions in favor of their preference for designs with a timeless aesthetic. The Citizen Satellite Wave GPS F950 breaks that mold with an unusual provenance that makes this striking wristwatch design even more intriguing. It’s made from the same titanium as the HAKUDO-R lander, which is destined for lunar exploration in 2021.
The 47.5 mm two-piece case encapsulates the dial’s clean lines and sharp edges. Its two-tone coloring uses Duratect DLC and Duratect Sakura Pink, and its design was inspired by themes of outer space and GPS satellites. The Citizen Satellite Wave GPS F950 has been crafted to celebrate both the 50th anniversary of the brand’s titanium technology and its foray into space exploration. The 550-piece limited release of this unique watch design is slated to launch in Winter 2020 for discerning collectors, with the HAKUDO-R lunar lander to follow. Both are destined to revolutionize the look and function of precision-engineered titanium.
