Citizen Watches present Eco-Drive

• How Does Eco-Drive Work?
  The secret of the Citizen Eco-Drive is the way it absorbs light, stores it and then releases it to power the watch.

• Dials
  The dials are made from ceramic or special plastic materials.  These are opaque so that the light sensitive panel is hidden but allow enough light through to power the watch.
• Secondary Battery
  The electrical energy is stored in a titanium lithium ion secondary battery and then released as required to operate the watch.  It will keep the watch running for up to 6 months in complete darkness.  This means the watch can be left in a drawer or a bag for a long time before it will stop working.

• Light Sensitive Panel
  Directly behind the dial is a photo-electric cell that converts light into electrical energy - even in low light conditions.  A few minutes of winter daylight provides enough power for one day's usage.
