The story of Citizen Eco-Drive solar-powered watches
In the Mid-1970s the world was facing an energy crisis. As a response to this citizens started to look for alternative ways to power their watches. Back in the 1970s, it was the battery-operated quartz watches that dominated the markets. Quartz watches were however facing their problems. It was an issue that the battery life was so limited. The user was required to change the battery from time to time which of course was a minus from the perspective of user comfort. The company was worried about the environmental effects of disposable batteries too. The social pressure around that time motivated Citizens to develop a wristwatch that would source its power from light. One of their challenges was to invent a new technology that would ensure that the watch would keep ticking no matter the light situation. After a long development process, the company introduced its awaited Eco-Drive technology and in 1976 it launched the world’s first analogical quartz solar-powered watch that used light as its source of power. Eco-Drive is a reminder the company’s exceptional technological achievements and cares for the environment.
The Eco Drive Technology
Eco Drive technology can turn any light source into energy, no matter if the light is artificial or natural. Eco-Drive solar-powered watches do not need battery changes, charging, or winding to maintain their functionality. Depending on the model, these solar-powered watches have a power reserve of up to 6-12 months when fully charged. This ensures your watch will keep on ticking even in complete darkness. Citizen has focused on developing two types of solar panels for their watches. In watches using their Ring Solar technology, the solar panel is formed around the dial. In Standard Solar technology watches the solar panel is placed under the dial.
The company has also dedicated itself to developing energy-saving features for its watches. Whenever your Citizen Eco-Drive watch doesn’t have access to enough power the watch adjusts itself to less battery use by making its second hands jump in two-second intervals. When the battery is fully charged the second-hand goes back to its normal rhythm. Some of the watches pause in complete darkness to save energy. As soon as light hits the watch, the hands move quickly and automatically to show the correct time. Citizen has developed the world’s first battery charge level indicator for analog watches. This feature helps the user to assess the level of battery charge in all circumstances.
