The first Citizen Eco-Drive watches, which are light powered watches, were sold in 1995. There is an amorphous silicon solar cell behind the dial that charges a titanium lithium-ion secondary battery. It takes one minute of sunlight to run the watch for a day, but the battery, once fully charged, will work for up to 16 months, depending on the model, without ever seeing the light of day. This high tech watch will never need a battery change, and comes in many cool and attractive styles for men and women.
For men the Solar-Tech 180 Titanium is a rugged looking sport watch that is water resistant up to 200 metres. It is a quartz watch with a one-way rotation elapsed-bezel, date window and a screwed down crown. It gives the time in 26 cites, a 1/5 second chronograph measuring up to 60 minutes, alarm, perpetual calendar and much more. It is all stainless steel, water resistant up to 200 metres and also never needs a battery. It has 12/24 hour time and 1 second chronograph measuring up to 60 minutes. It comes with a rectangular or oval face in stainless steel and with black ion plating. These watches never need batteries and are also water resistant.
Citizen Eco-Drive watches are truly the leaders in environmentally friendly timepieces. They are very strong, even the delicate ladies styles, and will last for decades, never needing a battery. The sports watches and chronographs can stand any challenge and never let you down. All of these features combined with some of the best watch styling in the business makes this a watch worth owning.
