It focuses on a minimalist design language that smoothly transitions from daily workwear to low street styles. Exclusivity defines the watch because production is strictly limited to just 600 pieces available worldwide.

Specification

The physical build of this specific model features a case diameter of 39.5 mm. This versatile diameter ensures a highly comfortable and balanced look on a wide variety of wrists. 

Both the case and the integrated bracelet are sculpted from Citizen’s proprietary material called Super Titanium. This advanced metal is forty percent lighter than stainless steel yet completely gentle on the skin. 

The watch undergoes an extensive application of high-end Duratect Platinum surface-hardening treatment for maximum protection. This specialized finish makes the silver-tone exterior at least five times harder than a standard steel watch. 

It offers excellent resistance against everyday scratches, rust, and accidental impacts on the track or street.

The front of this Citizen Zenshin Super Titanium watch features a premium flat sapphire crystal glass for superior hardness. This scratch-resistant sapphire glass ensures the dial remains crystal clear and legible in any environment.

Turning the watch over reveals a solid screw-down caseback etched deeply with the official Hypebeast logo. Each individual timepiece features its unique limited-edition production number stamped cleanly into the titanium caseback. 

The watch provides a strong water resistance rating of 100 meters deep on the wrist. This level of water resistance allows for safe swimming, showering, and casual snorkeling without worries.

The integrated Super Titanium bracelet features brushed links and attaches seamlessly to the angular case lugs. It fastens securely with a reliable fold-over clasp equipped with convenient dual push-button releases. 

Dial

Leaning heavily into a monochrome aesthetic, this watch model receives a full metallic chrome treatment. The striking silver-tone dial beautifully matches the exterior titanium shell for a unified, metallic look. 

A subtle limewash texture on the dial creates an elegant effect that shifts under direct sunlight. This refined texture masterfully amplifies the metallic color story without disrupting the clean, minimalist presentation.

A black outer minute ring contrasts against the silver dial to provide clear everyday readability. The hour indicators are applied silver indexes, while the sleek hands feature a modern skeletonized design. 

Eagle-eyed collectors will spot a custom Arabic numeral 20 sitting at the 4 o’clock position. This unique marker replaces the standard index to commemorate the two decades of Hypebeast’s cultural influence. 

The iconic Hypebeast logo is also seamlessly integrated directly onto the dial below the central hands.

Movement

The watch is powered by the dependable Citizen in-house Caliber J800 Eco-Drive quartz movement. This highly advanced movement continuously harnesses absolutely any light source to keep the watch running smoothly. 

It converts both natural sunlight and indoor studio light into energy, completely eliminating battery replacements. This sustainable caliber features a highly useful day and date display at the 3 o’clock position.

The premium unboxing experience matches the exclusive feel of this collaborative sports-luxury titanium timepiece. It arrives in a custom-designed co-branded presentation box from both iconic companies. 

A metallic, limited-edition authentication card is included, mirroring the exact number stamped on the caseback. The Citizen Zenshin titanium AW0138-59A is priced at $ 625.
