Citizen Classic 8700

The Citizen Classic 8700 is powered by Eco-Drive, which continuously converts light into energy. If worn regularly and exposed to normal light conditions, it should stay charged. If stored for extended periods (over 6 months), it may enter a power-save mode and require a full charge of 10-15 hours in light.
