CITIZEN evolved titanium into Super Titanium™ by combining our proprietary titanium-processing technologies and our surface-hardening technology Duratect. We overcame all titanium’s inherent disadvantages: its softness and vulnerability to scratching; its resistance to being machined; and the difficulty of polishing it, creating glossy finishes, or adding colour variations. In so doing, we created a material with new possibilities.
Super Titanium™ has more than five times the surface hardness of stainless steel. It protects your watch from the little nicks and scratches that are part of everyday life.
Weight comparison
Models of identical design made from Super Titanium™ and Stainless steel
Super Titanium™ weighs around 60% of stainless steel. Compare the feel of a Super Titanium™ watch to a stainless-steel watch on your wrist and you will be astonished at the difference in weight. The Super Titanium™ watch feels like part of your body. Wear it all day without fatigue or stress.
Super Titanium™ is a metal-allergy-resistant material that is gentle on the skin. By applying our proprietary surface-hardening technologies instead of traditional metal-coating technologies, we brought all titanium’s inherent positive qualities to life(*).*Some models are not metal-allergy resistant. Consult the catalogue for the specifics of different models.
Corrosion performance test
Super Titanium™ is resistant to fresh water, salt water and sweat. People whose jobs involve exposure to water, people who love the outdoors, and people who perspire more than average can use their watch secure in the knowledge it will not rust.
CITIZEN has developed a rich range of colors impossible to make with untreated titanium: silver, black, gold, pink gold and more. The design possibilities are endless.
