A watch like this says you mean business. Crafted in stainless steel with a black dial, luminous hands, date indicator and sophisticated black leather strap. Featuring our Eco-Drive technology – powered by light, any light. Never needs a battery. Caliber number J165. A revolutionary timepiece, the Citizen Men's Strap Eco Drive Watch definitely deserves a closer look. This watch's Eco-Drive technology is fueled by light, so it never need winding or a battery. Its outward presentation begins with a 40mm stainless steel case and bezel. These stainless steel elements hug a bold black dial, which is protected by a hardened mineral crystal and features silver-toned stick markers and hands powered by reliable Japanese quartz movement. The dial also features white second markers around the outer rim and a date display window at the 3 'o clock position. A stylish synthetic leather band looks great as it comes to a reliable buckle clasp. Since its foundation in 1930, CITIZEN has promoted a multi-cultural mindset that fosters excellence and creativity. The very name of the brand conveys a deep respect toward craftsmanship and considered as familiar by citizens the world-over. So as a “citizen” of the world, we bear the responsibility to help cultivate a culture of positive change and on-going evolution through our craft. We take that mission seriously and steadfastly welcome what the future may bring. As a true manufacture d’horlogerie, CITIZEN integrates a comprehensive manufacturing process from creating individual components to a watch’s final assembly. It’s an artisan’s approach to watch making based on pushing forward the boundaries of technology and leveraging our experience toward exploring new possibilities. One pivotal technological breakthrough was the development of a light-driven watch. CITIZEN pioneered this engineering innovation well ahead of other watch manufacturers as early as 1976, which led to the launch of the highly acclaimed Eco-Drive in 1995. Utilizing electrical power converted from virtually any light source, this extraordinary innovation changed forever the way watches could be powered. Eco-Drive eliminated the need to ever replace batteries, which made it especially beneficial to areas where such specialist batteries were not obtainable. This leveled the field for citizens of virtually every country to be able to experience unrestricted joy of wearing and using a CITIZEN watch. The product development policy, “The Fusion of Technology and Beauty,” remains a constant motivation for us to merge cutting-edge technology with perfection of design beauty, which as a consequence inspires people to strive to be their best at any time. CITIZEN launches a new campaign in collaboration with Wieden+Kennedy, Better Starts Now. This is the simple belief that no matter who you are or what you do, it is always possible to make something better — and now is the time to start doing it. We believe that better and now are both infinite, and that there is always a next ‘better’ and a new ‘now’ in which you can start pursuing it. It was clear from the onset of this project that we are dedicated to this ideal…not to the past but to the present, and all the way we can improve it. To help communicate this belief to the world we have created a new global CITIZEN brand movie, brand identity and brand website that represents out Better Starts Now philosophy. See more

2 Hand, Date
Silver-Tone Stainless Steel Case with Black Croc Embossed Strap
Luminous Hands and Markers, Mineral Crystal
30 Meters water resistant and 5 year limited warranty
I've been looking for a solar (or plain quartz) powered watch for accuracy and ease of maintenance, with stick or baton indices - no numerals, and minimal markings & complications for a simple, de-cluttered dial. Also one with wide hands and hour indices with high-contrast luminescent paint for low-light visibility. This watch has that all, plus a beautiful black sun-burst dial, discreet date window, and classy, classic appearance that's just a tad flashy with its reflectiveness but retains its utility. It can pass as a dress watch and works as a casual watch too. The lack of a second hand wasn't a deal breaker for me, but I've surprisingly come to really like it. I won't be timing anything down to the second with this watch, but the lack of perceptible movement makes the watch surprisingly calming to check. I've come to realize if you're only checking the general time to about a minute, a second hand's a nuisance.Cons:Only 30m water resistance and easily scratched mineral crystal means I'll have to baby this thing. For a daily beater I prefer the ease-of-mind of 50-100m WR and sapphire crystal that's near impossible to scratch. I'm in love with everything else about this case and dial. Some added toughness would make it perfect. Oh also the strap is possibly the worst strap I've ever seen - went straight in the trash.
