Citizen has launched the Attesa AT8297-51L in the US and UK as a low-maintenance alternative to a traditional mechanical watch.

The watch has a 42mm Super Titanium case with a gray coating, a navy dial and a titanium bracelet.
Its Eco-Drive movement charges using available light, including indoor lighting.
A built-in receiver uses atomic-clock signals to set the time, and the watch supports 26 time zones.
It also has a perpetual calendar, a chronograph and water resistance to 100 metres.
The launch adds another solar-powered, radio-controlled watch to Citizen’s Attesa lineup; no further plans for the model are stated.
