A space-age material with incredible properties is treated with our proprietary surface-hardening technology, Duratect, to create Super Titanium™. The ideal material for a timepiece, Super Titanium™ is lightweight, gentle on the skin and both scratch- and rust-resistant.
In 1970, we launched the world’s first watch using solid titanium: the X-8 Chronometer. The name is a combination of X – representing the unknown – and 8, evoking the infinity symbol. It’s an expression of the boundless possibilities of titanium, a relatively unknown material at the time. Citizen continued evolving our use of titanium to build our Super Titanium™ collection, producing notable timepieces throughout the years.
There's nothing more sad than scratching a watch you've only just bought. Super Titanium™ is produced by treating solid titanium with our proprietary surface-hardening technology, Duratect, to achieve a level of hardness over five times that of stainless steel. Now you can keep your watch pristine and free from nicks and scratches.
Super Titanium™ is made from solid titanium. While solid titanium has excellent hypoallergenic properties, its softness makes it particularly difficult to process. At CITIZEN, we applied our mastery of processing to develop unique technologies that overcome the challenges posed by solid titanium.
