The theme of CITIZEN this year is about the material and surface processing as well as technological advancement. Surface processing is not the brightest star in the watchmaking, but this is amazing.
Anyway, here is what CITIZEN showed at this Basel.
The big booth.
Now world-famous decoration with thousands of base plates.
On one side is last year's Satellite Wave F100
Another side is this year's novelty Satellite Wave F900
Inside is the main theme "Super Titanium"....
The rock which contains titanium.
CITIZEN does those processing in-house. They can make various color titanium by its proprietary surface processing.
F900 white
F900 black
Now with chronograph and GMT.
