In its official announcement dated June 10, 2026, Citizen added a new limited-edition reference to the ATTESA line: the CC4107-80H. The key idea behind the release is simple but effective: combine the brand’s recrystallised titanium treatment with an all-black case and bracelet to create a more technical and more industrial-looking sports watch.
This is not just a cosmetic color swap. Citizen highlights the octagonal bezel and the center links of the bracelet, both finished with crystal-like patterns created through high-temperature treatment and controlled cooling. That means each watch carries slightly different surface character, giving the limited edition a more tangible identity than a production number alone.
Black titanium takes the lead
The 44 mm CC4107-80H uses Citizen’s Super Titanium construction with Duratect DLC treatment. According to the official release, the combination is meant to boost scratch resistance while keeping the watch lighter than steel. A gunmetal grey dial and the irregular recrystallised surfaces give the watch presence without pushing it into overtly loud territory.
The strongest part of the concept is how consistently Citizen applies the material story across the watch. The bezel is not carrying the full burden on its own; the center bracelet links repeat the same treatment and keep the design coherent. In today’s watch industry, titanium is increasingly being used not only for weight savings but also as a design language. The CC4107-80H feels like a timely example of that shift.
F950 movement and real-world usability
Inside is Citizen’s F950, one of the most complete movements in the Eco-Drive Satellite Wave GPS range. The brand says GPS reception can be completed in as little as 3 seconds and that the Double Direct Flight function remains part of the package for fast switching between local and home time. The spec list also includes world time, a 1/20-second chronograph, light-level indicator, power reserve display, and a perpetual calendar.
Citizen says the reference is scheduled to launch in July 2026, will be limited to 1,800 pieces worldwide, and carries a projected US price of $2,600. The timing matters too: 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of Eco-Drive, which gives this release an extra layer of significance inside Citizen’s broader technology story.
Horomag view
This ATTESA goes a bit further than the usual blackout treatment. Citizen is not using black purely as a styling shortcut; it is using recrystallised titanium to make the material itself the story. The angular case, faceted bezel, and dark dial together make the CC4107-80H a compelling option for buyers who want a technical sports watch with a more distinctive surface finish than the norm.
