Founded in 1918 as the Shokosha Watch Research Institute, the Citizen Watch Company has long enjoyed their reputation in exceptional quality coupled with their dramatic advancements in timekeeping technology. This led to the company’s expansion into the Hong Kong and South East Asian markets in the early ‘60s, where the Citizen watch quickly became an irresistible acquisition. Today, holding countless patents, Citizen is known as one of the fastest growing watch companies in the United States.
The Citizen Quartz Crystron Solar Cell was introduced in 1976 as the world’s first analog quartz watch to use sunlight as its primary power source. In 1978, the company introduced two more design breakthroughs: the Citizen 709, an ultra-slim analog with quartz movement watch which broke the 1 millimeter barrier, and the Citizen Quartz Ultra-Slim, the world’s first ultra-slim LCD quartz watch. The Aqualand diver’s watch, featuring the first electronic depth meter, premiered in 1985.
1996 signaled the beginning of a new era of eco-minded design and technology - the Citizen Eco-Drive collection made its debut. The revolutionary Eco-Drive converts light into energy which is stored in a continuously recharging second battery that lasts for the life of the watch. What does this mean? ...the Eco-Drive will never need a new battery. Like its many predecessors, the Eco-Drive is a perfect example of Citizen's technological advancements, having been manufactured from materials developed to be highly resistant to scratch and wear and quality controlled to provide its owner with flawless performance and long-life.
