Citizen

Citizen's defining watch technology is Eco-Drive, a light-powered quartz system that charges from any light source and removes the need for routine battery changes, which is used across most of its range. Collections include the Promaster line of dive, aviation and land watches, the pilot-inspired Nighthawk, radio-controlled atomic timekeeping models, satellite-synchronised timekeeping in selected premium watches, and mechanical automatics such as the Tsuyosa. Dress, sport and everyday styles are available at accessible to mid-range prices. The Japanese company sells through department stores, watch retailers, its own website and authorised dealers. Citizen suits buyers who want a low-maintenance watch with reliable timekeeping and practical features. Some multi-function models have complex controls that take time to learn, and features differ significantly between Eco-Drive references, so checking functions such as radio control, perpetual calendar and water resistance before buying is advisable.
