HAKUTO-R

The unique patterns of the lunar surface and its shifting shadows are natural wonders of space – and are exclusively captured in the design of the new Hakuto-R timepiece. Created as the second collaboration with the HAKUTO-R Japanese lunar exploration program and ispace, this limited-edition model depicts the unique lunar surface patterns with newly developed Recrystallized Titanium.* In addition, Citizen has provided Super Titanium™ parts for the legs of the project’s lunar lander. This latest collaboration model uses the same material on the lunar lander’s legs: Super Titanium™ treated with Duratect DLC. The striking design combines the recrystallized titanium with Duratect DLC and features an all-black dial, case, and bracelet, taking inspiration from the mystery and infinite darkness of outer space. The ring, indices, and subdials create a multi-layered structure on the dial, with a black-toned pattern inspired by titanium crystals. The case back has a diagram of the HAKUTO-R lunar lander that includes the Super Titanium™ parts made by Citizen. Featuring GPS timekeeping with worldwide reception that enables the world’s fastest signal reception speed from GPS navigation satellites, the watch can receive time signals in as little as 3 seconds – and the hour and minute hands move twice as fast as previous GPS models to rapidly display the current time. This high-performance timepiece includes a Double Direct Flight and a 1/20 chronometer function. Advanced features also include world time in 27 cities (40 time zones), a chronograph, dual time zones, a universal coordinated time display, a perpetual calendar, as well as daylight savings time, power reserve, and light level indicators. Powered by Eco-Drive technology that never needs a battery, this one-of-kind watch is a collector’s piece for space enthusiasts and luxury watch lovers alike. Limited to 1000 unnumbered pieces worldwide. Caliber number F950.
