Fans of Japanese tool watches will delight, though this professional-themed diving tool watch comes at a not-insignificant price. Citizen also makes the claim that it is the most water-resistant dive watch (and first 1000-meter Eco-Drive) that is light powered, allowing it to go deep within the ocean where no natural light exists to power the movement – a minor irony.

It detects the intensity of light striking the dial and displays the electricity generation level at the moment, allowing wearers to easily gauge the charge level in any given situation.At Baselworld 2017, Citizen watches of Japan will release what is the most durable dive watch I’ve ever personally known them to produce in the Promaster Eco-Drive Professional Diver 1000m timepiece. Light-Level IndicatorĬITIZEN invented the world’ s first* Light-Level Indicator for analog watches. Once light hits the watch, the hands move quickly and automatically to catch up to display the current correct time.
When an Eco-Drive watch with this feature is left in the dark, the hands stop in order to save energy. Once the battery is fully charged, the second hand returns to normal operation. When an Eco-Drive watch with this feature has an insufficient charge, the second hand jumps in 2-second intervals. CITIZEN continues to work on the further enhancement of semiconductor chips, circuits and motors in its watches to even further reduce the power consumption of watch movements. Our pursuit of innovation has allowed us to bring to the market many light-powered watches with advanced functions and designs. Instant feedback when charging is needed just seconds to start up after exposure to light.ĬITIZEN has focused its development efforts on two different types of solar cells.ĬITIZEN has dedicated itself to improving its technologies for energy saving watch movements. Low charge warning quick start function (most models) Keeps running reliably, even in the dark. Power reserve can last from 6 months to 5 years (depends on model). Under normal conditions in door and outdoor, there is ample exposure to light to keep the watch running - forever. Powere by any kind of light, so it can run and recharge continuously. The ultimate convenience - no battery to replace ever! *There areexceptions which run less than six moths without light.
Thanks to our power saving function, CITIZEN makes it possible to develop watches that can operate for up to seven years without light.

One of the factors that distinguishes CITIZEN’ s Eco-Drive from other methods of keeping watches running at all times is its “power life.”Eco-Drive watches continue running for more than six months* on a full charge, even in total darkness. Light itself is the only energy source required to tell the time with an Eco-Drive watch. Easy to charge even in Dim LightĮco-Drive is designed so that any light source, no matter how dim, will generate the energy needed to power the watch. Watches with Eco-Drive do not require any battery replacement, charging or winding to maintain constant operation. Watches Powered by Light Eco-Drive is designed to convert both natural and artificial light into energy to power watches. In 1976, we invented the world’ s first light-powered analog quartz watch that runs using only light as a power source.
