Shine a ray of luxurious light whenever you walk into a room
with the silver-tone Citizen Eco-Drive Elektra women's stainless
steel watch, which is accented by 20 sparkling diamonds along the
bezel. This slim profile watch measures approximately 0.9 inches,
and is a great fit for slender wrists. It's completed by a
uniquely artful silver stainless steel bracelet band featuring a
highly polished finish, which is joined by a push-button
deployment clasp. The silver dial face is accented by dotted dial
markers, baton hands (with seconds hand), and a Roman numeral at
12 o'clock. It also features a scratch resistant mineral crystal
with anti-reflective coating.
This watch is powered by Citizen's unique Eco-Drive, which
absorbs sunlight and any artificial light through the crystal and
dial to recharge the watch continuously. With regular exposure to
light, the Eco-Drive continuously recharges itself for a lifetime
of use. This watch's Eco-Drive provides a 180-day power reserve,
and it can be recharged with just 3 hours of exposure to light.
Eco-Drive Frequently Asked Questions
How can you tell if the Eco-Drive watch is getting enough light?
In normal use, the watch displays the time and the sweep-second
hand moves in one second intervals. A very important feature of
Eco-Drive is the Low Charge Warning Mode which as a result of low
battery voltage, causes the second hand to jump two seconds at a
time (while still keeping correct time).
How long will an Eco-Drive watch run after it is fully charged?
If your watch is put away where no light is available to it while
in a fully charged state, depending on the model, it will run for
from 45 days to 5 years.
How can the Eco-Drive watch be recharged?
Besides sunlight, it can be safely charged by exposing it to a
fluorescent desk lamp, with the dial (face) up and within about 8
inches or an incandescent lamp (regular light bulb) no closer
than 20 inches. Never use a halogen lamp since the heat generated
by it can cause damage to your watch. The most efficient and the
quickest is in direct bright sunlight (not windowsill) and never
on the dashboard of a car.

About Citizen
One of the world's largest watch makers, the Citizen Watch
Company was founded in 1924 in Japan from its beginnings as the
Shokosha Watch Research Institute. The first watch released by
the company was named "CITIZEN" and its name was selected so that
it would be "close to the hearts of people everywhere." Today,
Citizen is recognized as a worldwide leader in advanced timepiece
technology, from the world's slimmest LCD watch to the first
voice re watch to the world's first professional dive
watch with an electronic depth sensor. Citizen was also the first
to sell watches made with titanium in the world, which is not
only light and durable but also non-enic (as stainless
steel can be to some wearers). Most recently, Citizen has
released watches powered by its Eco-Drive, which runs
continuously in any kind of natural light or artificial light for
a lifetime of use without changing a battery.
The company was established in 1924. The
founding hers selected the name Citizen so it would be ""Close

business throughout the world and has achieved re as the
global brand. The past twenty-five year period has coincided with
the company’s dramatic rise to its current position as the
world’s largest watchmaker, a distinction Citizen has held every
year since 1986.
Beyond sheer size, Citizen is also recognized as a worldwide
leader in advanced technology. From the world’s slimmest LCD
watch to the first voice re watch and the world’s first
professional dive watch with an electronic depth sensor,
Citizen’s record of ""world’s firsts"" is unmatched.
