Citizen Attesa AT8296-53A JDM Super Titanium Watch with Sapphire Bezel (42 mm, Solar Eco-Drive Cal. H800, 4-Zone Radio-Controlled, AR-Coated Sapphire Crystal, Duratect, Made in Japan)

The Citizen Attesa AT8296-53A is part of the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) lineup and is manufactured entirely in Japan. It stands out for combining a white vertical dial with an upper bezel encircled by a black sapphire crystal ring featuring world time cities. Its case (42 mm in diameter and just 10.7 mm thick) and bracelet are crafted from Super Titanium with Duratect TIC hardening treatment, resulting in a weight of just 95 grams and scratch resistance five times greater than that of stainless steel.

Inside, it is equipped with the Japanese H800 caliber featuring Eco-Drive solar technology and atomic radio wave reception in four regions of the world (Europe, the U.S., Japan, and China). It features the Direct Flight function for instantly switching time zones between 26 cities by turning the crown, a 1/20-second chronograph, a perpetual calendar with day and date, and a power reserve indicator. It also features Perfex Multi 3000 technological shielding (anti-magnetic protection, shock detection, and automatic hand correction), anti-reflective sapphire crystal, and water resistance to 100 meters (10 ATM).

• Super Titanium with Duratect Hardening (95 g): Ultra-lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and hypoallergenic (suitable for those with metal allergies). The titanium carbide coating protects the case and band from everyday scuffs and micro-scratches.
• Bezel with Sapphire Crystal Ring and Anti-Reflective Lens: Both the front crystal and the bezel ring feature sapphire, protecting the areas most exposed to impacts and ensuring a clear, glare-free readout.
• Atomic Accuracy and Eco-Drive Solar Power: It is powered by any light source (solar or artificial), offering up to 10 months of battery life in energy-saving mode, and automatically synchronizes the time via radio frequency without the need to change batteries.
• Direct Flight World Time (26 Zones): Allows you to set the local time and date for any city in the world in seconds with a simple turn of the crown, ideal for international travel.
• Perfex Multi 3000 Protection System: Combines JIS Type 1 anti-magnetic shielding with an impact sensor that stops the hands in the event of a shock and automatically resets them to their exact position.
• Fit Adjuster Micro-Adjustment Clasp: Allows you to adjust the bracelet length in small increments directly from the clasp without tools, adapting instantly if your wrist swells due to heat.
