Description

A watch like this says you mean business. Crafted in stainless steel with a black dial, luminous hands, date indicator and sophisticated black leather strap. Featuring our Eco-Drive technology – powered by light, any light. Never needs a battery. Caliber number J165. A revolutionary timepiece, the Citizen Men's Strap Eco Drive Watch definitely deserves a closer look. This watch's Eco-Drive technology is fueled by light, so it never need winding or a battery. Its outward presentation begins with a 40mm stainless steel case and bezel. These stainless steel elements hug a bold black dial, which is protected by a hardened mineral crystal and features silver-toned stick markers and hands powered by reliable Japanese quartz movement. The dial also features white second markers around the outer rim and a date display window at the 3 'o clock position. A stylish synthetic leather band looks great as it comes to a reliable buckle clasp. P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Since its foundation in 1930, CITIZEN has promoted a multi-cultural mindset that fosters excellence and creativity. The very name of the brand conveys a deep respect toward craftsmanship and considered as familiar by citizens the world-over. So as a “citizen” of the world, we bear the responsibility to help cultivate a culture of positive change and on-going evolution through our craft. We take that mission seriously and steadfastly welcome what the future may bring. As a true manufacture d’horlogerie, CITIZEN integrates a comprehensive manufacturing process from creating individual components to a watch’s final assembly. It’s an artisan’s approach to watch making based on pushing forward the boundaries of technology and leveraging our experience toward exploring new possibilities. One pivotal technological breakthrough was the development of a light-driven watch. CITIZEN pioneered this engineering innovation well ahead of other watch manufacturers as early as 1976, which led to the launch of the highly acclaimed Eco-Drive in 1995. Utilizing electrical power converted from virtually any light source, this extraordinary innovation changed forever the way watches could be powered. Eco-Drive eliminated the need to ever replace batteries, which made it especially beneficial to areas where such specialist batteries were not obtainable. This leveled the field for citizens of virtually every country to be able to experience unrestricted joy of wearing and using a CITIZEN watch. The product development policy, “The Fusion of Technology and Beauty,” remains a constant motivation for us to merge cutting-edge technology with perfection of design beauty, which as a consequence inspires people to strive to be their best at any time. CITIZEN launches a new campaign in collaboration with Wieden+Kennedy, Better Starts Now. This is the simple belief that no matter who you are or what you do, it is always possible to make something better — and now is the time to start doing it. We believe that better and now are both infinite, and that there is always a next ‘better’ and a new ‘now’ in which you can start pursuing it. It was clear from the onset of this project that we are dedicated to this ideal…not to the past but to the present, and all the way we can improve it. To help communicate this belief to the world we have created a new global CITIZEN brand movie, brand identity and brand website that represents out Better Starts Now philosophy. See more

  • Almost exactly what I'm looking for
I've been looking for a solar (or plain quartz) powered watch for accuracy and ease of maintenance, with stick or baton indices - no numerals, and minimal markings & complications for a simple, de-cluttered dial. Also one with wide hands and hour indices with high-contrast luminescent paint for low-light visibility. This watch has that all, plus a beautiful black sun-burst dial, discreet date window, and classy, classic appearance that's just a tad flashy with its reflectiveness but retains its utility. It can pass as a dress watch and works as a casual watch too. The lack of a second hand wasn't a deal breaker for me, but I've surprisingly come to really like it. I won't be timing anything down to the second with this watch, but the lack of perceptible movement makes the watch surprisingly calming to check. I've come to realize if you're only checking the general time to about a minute, a second hand's a nuisance. Cons: Only 30m water resistance and easily scratched mineral crystal means I'll have to baby this thing. For a daily beater I prefer the ease-of-mind of 50-100m WR and sapphire crystal that's near impossible to scratch. I'm in love with everything else about this case and dial. Some added toughness would make it perfect. Oh also the strap is possibly the worst strap I've ever seen - went straight in the trash. ... show more

  • A real winner
This is a very nicely designed and finished watch. The dial is simple (how I like them!) but quite beautiful with its starburst effect and the faceted hour markers. The lume allows me to easily read the time all night with no special 'charging'. I like the case shape and the lugs; it reminds me a bit of military watches. The tick (every other second) is inaudible under normal circumstances. This combined with the lack of a seconds hand makes for a very zen experience when checking the time. And of course with Eco-Drive it keeps going, and going, and going ... My one gripe is Citizen's standard gloss black padded leather strap that comes with it. It just doesn't match the spirit of this watch. I immediately put it on a Barton black silicone strap which suits it perfectly in my opinion. This combo is light, comfortable, classy and very modern looking. But it does push the total up around $100. Compared to other quartz watches, Eco-Drives aren't exactly cheap, but they are well-made and have a great warranty. The official water resistance on this one is just the basic "rain and hand washing" level, but I know that people have swum and even snorkeled with other Citizens that have the same rating. I wouldn't make a habit of it but if I needed to do it I wouldn't be too worried ... at least while the watch is new and the gaskets are fresh. ... show more

  • Nice watch; I wish it had a second hand
I have this watch for almost three years, but only recently have I been wearing it with any regularity. This was due to the strap being stiff and it didn't seem to fit right. Well, enough playing with it solved that problem. It's a good looking watch with all the accuracy of a quartz watch, but without the need to replace batteries. I keep on my window sill, and the sunlight through the window has kept it running. My wife has three Eco-Drive watches that she keeps on a desk and they are still running from the available light in the room. I know that many people may consider the 40 mm case to be smaller than they would like, but my wrists are not that thick; it fits me fine. My one gripe is that the picture on Amazon's site had a reflection that looked like a second hand. I won't wear to work because I frequently need the second hand; I wear it as a weekend dress-down watch, but it would be a perfectly fine dress watch as well. It IS easy to read and it IS accurate, so it gets five stars for those features, But I cannot give it the fifth star overall because of the lack of a second hand. ... show more

  • Fantastic watch
I have loved this watch from day 1. It is good looking, comfortable, and keeps time. The only frustration I have experienced is an answer to how long it needs to be in sunlight to have a charge. Still don't know! Don't care... it's getting enough

  • Beautiful quality watch
This watch is beautiful, elegantly simple, and works perfectly. The date display is perfectly sized. Unlike some watches I own, I can easily read the date on this one. I particularly wanted the solar charged battery that drives this watch. This is my second Citizen watch with the solar powered battery. I also purchased another one for my son a few years ago that he loves and wears daily. Citizen pioneered this technology and it works superbly. I will be reluctant to ever again purchase a watch that requires a traditional battery that wears out and requires replacement. When I first took this watch out of its box and set the time, it initially ran a little slow and did not keep time accurately. But, after allowing it to be exposed to light for a little while (less than an hour), I re-set it and it has kept perfect time since. I would have preferred a genuine leather wrist band. I will get one if and when I need a replacement band. But the one that comes with the watch is certainly attractive, comfortable and functional and you have to feel it and look very closely to notice it is not genuine leather. I give this watch five stars! ... show more

  • Beautiful watch
My husband loves this watch. The band is a little stiff though, hopefully it will loosen up over time

  • Dress to Field Watch with nylon strap change
I love the indices very easy to read. The black background is excellent in bright light, very fast read in low light, quick read in no light as fast as you can turn a flashlight on and off you can read it. I don’t miss the second hand being gone because often in dark circumstances, the second hand can be mistaken for the minute hand. All in all, an excellent value as a field watch even though it was originally designed as a dress watch. ... show more
