There is no compromise in terms of functions such as Eco Drive radio waves x Direct Flight x Perfect.

The fearless texture of the octagonal compact case x Duratect DLC.
■ What is ACT Line? Positioning of the Black Titanium™ series
There are two lines of Citizen Atessa: the ACT Line, which has a sporty and compact octagonal case, and the Regular Line, which has a classic round case. The CB3045-61L belongs to the "Black Titanium™ Series", which has the toughest and most fearless finish among the ACT Line. The black finish created by Duratect DLC is made of super titanium, which has a surface hardness more than 5 times that of stainless steel, plus a hard carbon film, making it the most resistant to scratches.
It's no surprise that the compact case size and multifunctional design that includes radio reception, direct flight, and world time will appeal to business people who travel a lot.
■ Navy x pink gold, a choice for adults
The most unique feature of CB3045-61L is the coloring of its dial. A hairline molding pattern is applied to the deep navy base, and metallic paint is layered to create an appearance that looks like a single sheet of metal. It's not just a "blue dial", it has a deep finish that changes its expression depending on how the light hits it.
The pink gold indexes and hands create an exquisite contrast with the bold black case. It's not too hard, but it's not flashy either - if an adult man were to choose one, this would be the color scheme. There is also a silver variation CB3040-56H in the same series, but this navy x pink gold has a special presence.
■ Super titanium x Duratect DLC──The power of the material
Both the case and band are made of super titanium. It is approximately 40% lighter than stainless steel, and weighs only 88g. While it has a sporty size that can fit up to an arm circumference of up to 20 cm, it is surprisingly comfortable to wear.
Furthermore, the case is treated with Duratect DLC (diamond-like carbon), which is highly rated for its high resistance to scratches caused by daily use. The fact that it is resistant to metal allergies is one of the reasons why people with sensitive skin can use it for a long time.
■ Radio waves x Direct Flight x Perfectex—three pillars of functionality
In terms of functionality, it is equipped with Eco Drive radio waves that receive radio waves in four areas around the world: Japan, China, America, and Europe, and automatically adjusts the time and calendar. Compatible with perpetual calendars, so there is no need to adjust the date at the end of the month.
The "Direct Flight" function, which is convenient when traveling overseas, allows you to quickly set the time to the local time by simply pulling the crown and turning the crown to smoothly move only the hour hand. In addition, it is equipped with world time (24 hour difference) and daylight saving time functions, making it suitable for global usage.
"Perfex" is Citizen's original technology that integrates JIS Class 1 magnetic resistance, shock detection function, and automatic needle correction function. The peace of mind that comes with automatic correction even if the hands become misaligned due to magnetism or impact is a major strength of watches, which are precision instruments.

■ Buyer's comment
I have owned Atessa's ACT Line countless times, but this CB3045-61L has a particularly eye-catching finish. The combination of deep navy and pink gold may seem flashy in writing, but in reality it is more restrained and elegant. This color scheme is alive because the calm black titanium case tightens the whole thing. The light weight of 88g made from super titanium will impress you once you put it on. This is the perfect companion on a business trip or as a companion on a competitive day.
