![]() Super Titanium retains the original properties of lightness and smoothness on the skin, but adds strength, hardness and beauty to the titanium, making it superior to stainless steel. That’s over five times more precise than international standards require. A material exclusively for CITIZEN, Super Titanium is produced by processing solid titanium and treated with our proprietary surface hardening technology, Duratect. Why are we referencing all these numbers? Because Citizen’s Chronomaster timepieces are accurate to ±5 seconds a year. While the typical quartz timepiece maintains a ☑ second a day average and good quartz timepieces make ☑5 seconds a month, by COSC standards, a quartz chronometer holds a requirement of ☒5.55 seconds a year. Some quick numbers to note: according to the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC), mechanical tickers are considered to be highly precise when they maintain a rate of −4/+6 seconds per day. As a result, high-precision quartz timekeeping is making a strong comeback. This redefinition is in no small part due to the presence of smartwatches, which are driving forward digital timekeeping efforts. In recent days, however, there’s been increasing interest in redefining electronically assisted timekeeping – quartz-powered timekeepers are no longer simply the more accessible option. At Revolution, we’ll be honest in saying that we’re a tad biased towards mechanical watchmaking. ![]()
