This energy would then be transferred to rechargeable batteries for storage, and thus be used by the watch as needed. The concept was simple - instead of powering a watch with a battery, it would instead be powered by light energy captured by a layer of thin film amorphous silicon solar cells mounted just under a translucent dial. Finally at the beginning of 2021, the family of The CITIZEN watches welcomed its latest member, the caliber 0200, a watch with a brand new mechanical movement that now came with even higher levels of aesthetic finish and accuracy.Įco-Drive has been a proprietary technology of Citizen and many years of development were undertaken before its first launch in 1976. This model came with a new movement that improved from the previous accuracy benchmark of ± 5 seconds a year, to an astounding ☑ second a year. In 2010, the family of The CITIZEN watches was bolstered by the introduction of its first mechanical movement, the caliber 0910, and then thereafter, two high precision Eco-Drive movements, the caliber A010 in 2011 and the caliber A060 in 2015.įollowing this, in 2019, the accuracy of Eco-Drive powered movements took another great leap forward with the introduction of the world’s most accurate watch in the form of the caliber 0100. Super Titanium™ came next in 2005, offering watches that were not only light and strong but also hypoallergenic. Other innovations came after that, including additional complications in the high precision quartz models in the form of perpetual calendar and world time functions. The first models under The CITIZEN collection in 1995 established a high benchmark for accuracy for quartz watches, offering an accuracy of ± 5 seconds per year.
Over the years, the watches from The CITIZEN collection have continually pushed the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of watchmaking.
