Outstanding accuracy through sophisticated radio-controlled technology, combined with maximum environmental friendliness thanks to the innovative Eco-Drive system: Citizen Eco-Drive radio-controlled wristwatches were always in the best sense of the word "avant-garde". Citizen was one of those progressive companies that invested significant financial resources in the development of alternative drive technologies after the first energy crisis of the early 1970s. The remarkable result of the comprehensive research work at that time was the world's first analogue watch powered by a solar cell: the "Crystron Solar Cell".
Unlike traditional solar technology, Citizen's patented Eco-Drive technology, which has been optimized over the past four decades, is able to use not only the natural light of the sun, but also artificial types of light as energy sources for driving watches. Once fully charged, thanks to the Eco-Drive system, a Citizen radio-controlled watch can stay in the dark for a long period of time without compromising functionality. There are models that have an enormous power reserve of up to 8 years.
Anyone who also wants to be always shown the exact time by his wristwatch and wants to spare themselves the annoying time changeover in the future, definitely makes an excellent choice with a Citizen radio-controlled watch. With its optimal combination of radio-controlled and solar functionality, not only a continuous and even charging of the watch is guaranteed. The special, sustainable benefits of a Citizen Eco-Drive watch are the cost and time savings through the elimination of battery changes, the environmentally friendly avoidance of hazardous waste in the form of old watch batteries and the practical energy-saving function of newer Eco-Drive models.
"On time, all the time" – whether with a great ladies' watch for sightseeing in Tallinn, in a meeting with a business men's watch in Tokyo or diving in the deep sea with a water resistant chronograph: Eco-Drive radio-controlled watches reliably receive radio waves in almost every place in the world and very comfortably and fully automatically change to the local time.
So as a wearer of a Citizen radio-controlled Eco-Drive watch become a true citizen of the world and world time receiver!
