Hands-On: Limited-Edition Citizen Attesa JAXA HTV-X H800 Watch Delivers Space-Themed Spectacle
The Citizen Attesa JAXA HTV-X H800 is a limited-edition watch inspired by the Japanese JAXA HTV-X cargo transport vehicle designed for the International Space Station. Featuring a 42mm black DLC-coated Super Titanium alloy case, the watch combines technical excellence with a striking aesthetic, incorporating a midnight blue aventurine dial that captures the essence of space. It boasts a variety of complications displayed elegantly across three subdials, including a chronograph and world timer functions. The design is further enhanced by gold tones referencing the JAXA vehicle's exterior and a unique light-diffusing layer that adds depth and texture to the dial. Equipped with the in-house Eco-Drive H800 movement, the watch offers impressive features such as radio-controlled time synchronization and a perpetual calendar, all while maintaining a power reserve of up to 10 months. The accompanying Super Titanium bracelet complements the case's design, although the oversized endlinks may pose a challenge for smaller wrists. With only 1,300 pieces available at an MSRP of $1,350 USD, the Citizen Attesa JAXA HTV-X H800 not only elevates the brand's aesthetic appeal but also provides a compelling option for watch enthusiasts seeking a blend of functionality and style.
