Eco-Drive is a technology that Citizen Watch Co. Ltd. introduced a while back. This technology features a vast range of watches that use light as a power source. Eco-Drive has been a staple of this watch company and has been effective in style, tech, and innovation.
Citizen has introduced the line to Asia, Europe, and Latin America back in the ’90s. Citizen came up with the use of temperature and light sources as power sources in their Eco-Drive line. They have found ways to innovate the watch, which can enhance the watch’s appearance and performance.
The Eco-drive line has been a consistent must-have for watch enthusiasts for years. It has combined tech and style to perfection. Now, we’re going to introduce some of the best watches of the Eco-Drive line for geeks with style.
Citizen Eco-Drive, Caliber 0100
We start with the most recent watch in the Eco-Drive line. Citizen has recently introduced the Caliber 0100. This watch promises to be the most precise ever.
The Caliber 0100 watch features a quartz crystal. This quartz crystal runs at a higher frequency at 8.4mhz and is the highest among any other watch that features quartz technology.
This watch has become the benchmark of accuracy and precision. It combines style and innovation. You could think of the watch as something from the 50s or 60s. It even looks like your typical dress watch with the added precision, accuracy, and tech.
Citizen Eco-Drive, Promaster Diver
The Promaster Diver is the perfect watch for people who love outdoor activities. This watch gets its power from the sun and features a glowing face. It can run on a single solar charge for months. It’s also an excellent 200 USD investment for people looking for a durable watch.
The ProMaster Diver has water resistance over 600 feet, that’s if you’re capable of going that deep. Rivers, lakes, and your annual pool time with family shouldn’t pose as a threat to this watch.
Citizen has been masterful in mixing style and functionality. The ProMaster Diver is rugged in a stylish way. It’s a must-have watch for outdoor enthusiasts.
The Axiom Stainless Steel
The Eco-Drive Axiom watch has a stainless steel finish. It is perfect for minimalists who love a sleek design. Contrary to the previous watch, this one is not suitable for swimming. However, this watch can be perfect for your everyday look.
Once again, Citizen has come up with ways to cater to the everyday needs of the modern man. The company has been masterful in combining innovation with style.
Eco-Drive One
The Eco-Drive One line is a marvel from an engineering perspective. It is being dubbed as the world’s thinnest solar-powered watch. The line features a 2.99mm case. It looks more of a bracelet with lines all over it. Remember the days when you longed for a thin watch on your wrist?
The Eco-Drive One is a quartz watch that offers only time reading function. Yet, it can hold over a hundred days of power when it’s charged. It’s only a little margin from other Eco-Drive movements that are thicker.
We rarely see this kind of watch from Citizen. The design is a good reason for watch lovers to admire it. Another reason is the ultra-slim case that serves the exclamation point on innovation.
Conclusion
The Eco-Drive line has proven that Citizen watches are not only innovative but also stylish. The range features solar-powered watches. They have been successful in getting rid of the old battery-powered watch.
Eco-Drive watches do not sacrifice the fundamentals. It only uses the fundamentals as tools to innovate.
Citizen has proven itself to be a significant player in the watch industry and keeps coming up with ways to be creative and catering to the consumer’s needs. We’re definitely excited about what Citizen will surprise us with in the future.
