Citizen making waves

ook me a little while, but at last I've got round to looking at the Brand that gave me the Attesa, which I seem to recall I called the “ultimate”, and which to my regret I succumbed to a crazy bout of downsizing my collection and sold it on – yes – sold on! Madness I know but with the proceeds managed to finance a vintage grail watch – so I'm happy enough (maybe!)
So what has piqued my interest again? Well it's the next generation Citizen F100 Satellite Wave GPS CC2006-53E , which is so Attesa like I'm surprised they didn't just call it the Attesa Wave, but they didn't, instead calling it after their Wave 100 technology the F100 Satellite.

Citizen Satellite Wave F100
Model: CC2006-53E

But I can't complain as this is one of those models that comes up every so often that hits the spot. Citizen have managed to squeeze into one of the sleekest DLC (diamond like Carbon) faceted Titanium cases I've seen, all the updated components to make the world's thinnest light-powered satellite synchronized watch there is. It also receives satellite signals faster than any other model (3 seconds!) and keeps +/- 5 seconds per month accuracy anywhere on Earth.
The crystal is anti-reflective Sapphire and the case has a Water Resistance of 100m. Citizen's Eco-Drive (solar) means no battery issues ever and the Wave technology gives accuracy with it's World wide Satellite Timekeeping System, covering a whopping 40 Time Zones. The Seconds hand doubles as the indicating pointer for various functions (Month, Time Zone, Signal reception etc). A Perpetual Calendar to 2100 and luminous hands and markers, a Light Level Indicator and a Power Reserve Indicator more or less rounds up the features. The bracelet is Duratec coated Titanium and fits to small spring bars, so unfortunately is bespoke, but it IS an excellent and tapered Titanium one and if anything like my old Attesa, then I'm happy with that.
