SATELLITE WAVE F100

Challenging Design

Throughout its history of over 100 years, CITIZEN has produced numerous world firsts and world records. This article introduces epoch-making products that have pioneered new possibilities for watches by incorporating the technology of each era.

Enhancing Edge Appeal

To express one of the product concepts, 'a sense of speed,' chamfers that create a slim appearance and edgy profiles are used extensively. The multifaceted case, which looks as if it has been shaved down with a sharp blade, is especially striking and possesses a unique originality unlike any other. Details that could only be achieved through 3D software design are found throughout, and the designer’s individuality is evident even in the smallest details, such as the sub-components that use many corners, slopes, and tapered lines to match the case image, as well as the dial, hands, and fonts. Special attention has been paid to the arrangement of the edges of the ridges and the profile edges. Compared to the case, the metal band has a somewhat more subdued design, but this makes it feel more comfortable on the wrist.
