Citizen unveils new titanium-build Attesa Blue Universe watches with limited production run
In latest news, Citizen is expanding its Attesa Blue Universe lineup with two new limited-edition watches which are scheduled for release on July 3, 2025. The models - CC4106-74E and CB3046-76E - feature upgraded "Super Titanium" builds with Duratect DLC Blue coating and will be produced in quantities of 2,000 and 1,800 units respectively, making them extremely exclusive.
Both watches are part of Citizen’s ACT Line, catering to professionals who value performance and tech-driven style in their timepieces. The CC4106-74E is equipped with the top-end F950 movement, which includes GPS timekeeping, world time for 39 cities, a 1/20 sec chronograph, and dual time zone display. It has a case diameter of 44 mm and thickness of 13.7 mm. The CB3046-76E, slightly slimmer at 39 mm wide and 9.7 mm thick, uses the H128 movement, with radio-controlled timekeeping across Japan, China, the US, and Europe, with perpetual calendar and dual time support.
What stands out in this collection is Citizen’s use of DLC Blue - a scratch-resistant titanium coating with a dark, rich sheen. This is paired with greyish-black Duratect DLC on the case body, combining into a uniform matte finish. The dial itself reflects a star-filled outer space with its black background and scattered sparkling accents. Both models use sapphire glass and are rated for 10 bar water resistance.
The new Blue Universe Collection continues Citizen's design theme introduced back in 2022 with earlier DLC Blue models. While the previous generation kept the aesthetic pretty minimal to say the least, the 2025 release has a fair number of decorative touches - like larger luminous indexes and more complex dial textures. The CC4106-74E is priced at 363,000 yen excluding tax (~$2,495), while the CB3046-76E comes in at 154,000 yen before tax (~$1,058).
