Description
The Citizen Attesa Eco-Drive Radio Controlled Layers of Time AT8286-65E is an elite, high-performance luxury sports chronograph created to celebrate a major historical milestone. Released as a centerpiece of the "Layers of Time" capsule collection, this highly exclusive timepiece honors the 100th anniversary of the very first Citizen-branded watch (a pioneering pocket watch from 1924). Limited to only 2,100 pieces worldwide, this premium model fuses Citizen's advanced satellite atomic syncing technology with standard-setting material engineering to offer collectors an unforgettable, lightweight executive statement piece. The defining visual masterpiece of the AT8286-65E is its structural color dial face, created in partnership with Fujifilm. Inspired by the structural formation of geological strata deep within the Earth's crust, the ink technology produces a mesmerizing, crystalline-like multi-toned shimmer. Depending on the angle of ambient light, the black multi-layered dial dynamically shifts through rich hues of turquoise green, deep purple, and oceanic blue. This stunning display houses a symmetrical vertical three-register layout detailed with applied silver-tone indices and high-visibility luminous hands, all framed by a stealthy black world-time scale bezel. Beneath its artistic, terra-inspired exterior, this timepiece is sculpted entirely from Citizen’s proprietary Super Titanium™ alloy. By treating solid aerospace titanium with exclusive Duratect DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) surface hardening processing, the case and bracelet achieve a dark grey, high-end metallic finish that is five times harder than standard stainless steel while remaining roughly $40\%$ lighter on the wrist. To safeguard its pristine mechanics, it features the Perfex system—an advanced internal layout pairing specialized shock detection and automatic hand correction grids with Type 1 anti-magnetic shielding. Internally, the watch is driven by the elite, in-house Japanese Caliber H800 Eco-Drive movement. Powered by any natural or artificial light source, it completely eliminates the need for battery replacements, storing a 6-month power reserve that extends up to 10 months in absolute darkness via its automated Power Saving feature. The watch provides absolute atomic accuracy by utilizing a Global Radio-Controlled Multi-Band 6 receiver. Every night, it automatically captures high-frequency atomic time signals across four major global regions (North America, Europe, China, and Japan) to self-correct its time and date. Protected by a premium, dual-curved sapphire crystal with an advanced internal anti-reflective coating, it is rated to 100 meters (10 bar) of water resistance for ultimate daily reassurance.
