Citizen Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive<\/strong> is a proprietary technology that sets Citizen<\/strong> watches apart from the competition. It is a pillar of the Japanese watchmaker\u2019s offering, that also includes mechanical low-end or high-end timepieces, marketed under the brand The Citizen<\/strong>, a direct competitor to Grand Seiko<\/strong>, exclusively available on the Japanese domestic market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"citizen-promaster-eco-drive-aqualand-BN2037-11E-cinque\"Let me here briefly introduce the story of the Citizen Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive<\/strong> technology, its pros and last but not least, a list of the most representative models equipped with this technology, in our opinion. When it first came out, the Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive<\/strong> technology appeared on selected timepieces and has since then extended throughout the entire catalog, including the Citizen Promaster<\/strong> sports collection, and their diving, aviator, and exploration inspired watches. Again, before digging into our most-loved Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive<\/strong> equipped timepieces, let\u2019s first take a look at the history behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The origins of the Eco-Drive system.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the so-called \u201cquartz crisis<\/em>\u201d shocked the industry in 1970<\/strong>, with Seiko<\/strong> leading the way with the Astron<\/strong>, the Swiss watchmaking industry partially converted to this technology, in an attempt to survive. However, if we had to highlight a quartz watch\u2019s flaws, two were on top of the list at the time: a battery\u2019s short lifecycle and a poor environment-friendly\u00a0recycling process. Back then, Citizen<\/strong> watches began to explore sunlight-operated devices, envisioning the design of a battery change-free watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"citizen-quartz-crystron-solar-cell-1976\"It was 1976<\/strong> when Citizen<\/strong> launched the first sunlight-powered analog watch, the Citizen Quartz Crystron Solar Cell<\/strong>, the precursor of all things Citizen Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive<\/strong>. That watch is a milestone of either analog and digital watchmaking and, from a collector\u2019s perspective, is something you can buy at a rather affordable price too on the vintage second-hand market. Here is a listing on eBay<\/strong>: Citizen Quartz Crystron Solar Cell<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Citizen Eco-Drive: how it works and how it has evolved over the years.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From that moment onwards, Citizen<\/strong> has painstakingly improved the Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive<\/strong> technology to increase power reserve, reliability and, what\u2019s also important, make sure any Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive<\/strong> equipped watch might be capable of charging itself under any source of light, dim light included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"citizen-eco-drive-movement\"Engineers kept improving and miniaturizing the solar panels. They can capture the smallest light source nowadays, thus extending the maximum power reserve to a six<\/strong>\u2013month<\/strong> total battery power<\/strong> when fully charged, and up to an outrageous seven years<\/strong> on radio-controlled models. Please consider that a 2000 Citizen Eco-Drive AP0440-14F Diver<\/strong>\u2018s 200m<\/strong>, like the one pictured below, had a power reserve of three months<\/strong> (photo source: Francis Flinch \u2013 Own work, Public Domain, https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/w\/index.php?curid=3704420<\/em>)..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"citizen-promaster-eco-drive-AP0440-14F-divers-200m-on-a-4-ring-NATO-style-strap\"In 2016<\/strong>, the Citizen Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive<\/strong> technology celebrated its 40<\/strong>th<\/sup> anniversary<\/strong>, and the Japanese watchmaker marked this achievement by introducing the remarkable Citizen Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive One<\/strong>, the pinnacle of the Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive<\/strong> technology, showcasing a 2<\/strong>.98mm<\/strong> thick case that has a 1mm<\/strong> thick movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Why is it called Citizen Eco-Drive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Citizen<\/strong> opted for a brand name that is synonymous with a virtually unstoppable run along with eco-friendliness; no batteries had ever to be replaced, the only existing being those that store the energy converted from light. An Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive<\/strong> was the first watch ever to comply with the Eco Mark<\/strong> certification, introduced by the Japanese Environment Association<\/strong> (JEA); in 2014 Citizen<\/strong> was the first watch manufacturer to win the JEA<\/strong>\u2018s Eco Mark Gold Award<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>2019: a Citizen Eco-Drive is the most precise wristwatch ever made.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Baselworld 2019<\/strong>, Citizen<\/strong> unveiled a timepiece that, by combining the Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive<\/strong> technology with multiple cutting-edge innovations, ensures a +\/- one second per year accuracy, the Citizen Caliber 0100<\/strong>, a micro-engineering masterpiece. Among the Caliber 0100<\/strong>\u2018s main features, I would highlight quartz crystals that oscillate at an 8<\/strong>.4<\/strong>MHz<\/strong> frequency, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"citizen-caliber-0100\"We\u2019ll discuss that in a separate hands-on review. Little known to the audience is that the Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive<\/strong> system also powers an entirely new watch, the Citizen <\/strong>Riiver<\/strong>, a connected watch that offers advanced services by connecting with your smartphone via a dedicated App. You can find more information about the upcoming Citizen Eco-Drive Riiver<\/strong> by clicking on here: Citizen Riiver<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Our Citizen Eco-Drive top-rated watch list.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since 2013<\/strong> we have reviewed several Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive<\/strong> watches; almost all of them still belong to my personal collection. They are mainly top-of-the-range products belonging to the Citizen Promaster<\/strong> collection, that I consider the most iconic, and are part of the Altichron<\/strong> and Aqualand<\/strong> range, especially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The Citizen Eco Drive Promaster Altichron Cirrus BN5048-01E.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Citizen <\/strong>Promaster Altichron Cirrus BN5048<\/strong>\u201301E<\/strong> is an unusually elaborate limited edition six-hand wristwatch with a multi-layered dial, revealed in 2013<\/strong>. Its distinctive feature was and still is a design language like nothing else seen before on any complicated watch from the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Citizen-Promaster-Altichron-Cirrus-BN4034-01E\"Featuring an altimeter<\/strong> and a compass<\/strong>, the Cirrus<\/strong> showcases a full analog display, replacing the Citizen<\/strong>\u2018s signature analog-digital mixed\u00a0display. The retail price exceeded \u20ac2<\/strong>,000<\/strong> and has not plummeted over the years, confirming its icon-ready status. We briefly reviewed it on here: Citizen Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive Promaster Altichron Cirrus BN5048<\/strong>\u201301E<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Titanium Altichron BN4021-02E.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That same year Citizen<\/strong> also introduced the non-limited edition Citizen <\/strong>Promaster Titanium BN4021<\/strong>\u201302E<\/strong>. It shares the Cirrus<\/strong>\u2018 base architecture, and a less unusual yet avant-garde style in comparison to other complicated Citizen<\/strong>, a direction the brand has unexpectedly abandoned, as they considered this as an experiment, thus losing their opportunity to stand out as design trendsetters,\u00a0in my opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Citizen-Promaster-Altichron-titanium-BN4021-02E-due\"Featuring a SuperTitanium<\/strong>\u00ae case it has, unlike the Altchron Cirrus<\/strong>, a flat crystal, and a super-soft rubber strap. This Altichron<\/strong>, as the Cirrus<\/strong>, has faced no depreciation so far. We talked about it here: Citizen <\/strong>Promaster Titanium BN4021<\/strong>\u201302E<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Aqualand Depth Meter BN2024-05E.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alongside the new Altichron<\/strong> collection introduced at Baselworld 2013<\/strong>, Citizen<\/strong> enlarged the Aqualand<\/strong> collection the following year by launching the Promaster Aqualand Depth Meter BN2024<\/strong>\u201305E<\/strong> in 2014<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CITIZEN-Promaster-Aqualand-Depth-Meter-BN2024-05E\"The Citizen <\/strong>Promaster Aqualand Depth Meter BN2024<\/strong>\u201305E<\/strong> is a sturdy ISO 6425<\/strong> certified\u00a0professional diving watch, with a thick rubber strap. You can access our review, and one of our widest read ones ever, by clicking here: Citizen <\/strong>Promaster Aqualand Depth Meter BN2024<\/strong>\u201305E<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The Citizen Promaster Eco-Drive Professional Diver 1000 BN7020-09E.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Baselworld 2017<\/strong>, Citizen<\/strong> introduced the gigantic Promaster <\/strong>Professional Diver 1000 BN7020<\/strong>\u201309E<\/strong>, the successor to its celebrated Autozilla<\/strong>, and a super professional divers\u2019 watch crafted in titanium. It was the first professional divers\u2019 watch from Citizen<\/strong> to combine an up<\/strong>\u2013to<\/strong>\u20131000m<\/strong> water resistance with an Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive<\/strong> movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Citizen-Promaster-Eco-Drive-Professional-Diver-1000m-bn7020-09e\"I can\u2019t forget how big this tool watch was (the package comes with a strap extension, also), its exquisite build quality and the rotating bezel equipped with a locking-unlocking device to avoid unwanted rotation while diving. I strongly suggest not to miss review and photos; I think they list among the most attractive we have ever taken: Citizen Promaster <\/strong>Professional Diver 1000 BN7020<\/strong>\u201309E<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The Citizen Promaster Eco-Drive Aqualand BN2037-11E 30th<\/sup> Anniversary.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Citizen Promaster<\/strong> collection celebrated its thirty anniversary in 2019<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, and no wonder Citizen<\/strong> released some cool limited series belonging to the three thematic sections of the Promaster<\/strong> family: Sea<\/strong>, Land<\/strong>, and Sky<\/strong>. A new Citizen Promaster Aqualand<\/strong> came last year and has in 2019<\/strong> appeared as a limited edition too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"citizen-promaster-eco-drive-aqualand-BN2037-11E-tre\"The new Aqualand<\/strong> combines an original Aqualand<\/strong> inspired design to, again, an Eco<\/strong>\u2013Drive<\/strong> movement that replaced the original quartz caliber. Please find review, price, and opinions here: Citizen Promaster <\/strong>Aqualand BN2037<\/strong>\u201311E<\/strong> 30<\/strong>th<\/sup> Anniversary<\/strong>.:\u00a0Citizen Promaster Aqualand BN2037-11E 30th<\/sup> Anniversary<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
