Citizen Eco-Drive Chronograph - Silver - Eco-Drive

Eco-Drive converts light energy into electrical energy, which is stored in a rechargeable power cell. This cell drives the watch's movement, eliminating the need for traditional battery replacements. The watch can store enough power to run for several months in complete darkness.

A 100-meter water resistance rating means the watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and other water activities. However, it is not recommended for scuba diving or high-pressure water activities. Always ensure the crown is pushed in before exposure to water.

Yes, the 100M water resistance rating generally allows for wear during showering. However, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to hot water and soaps, as these can potentially degrade the seals over time. Rinse with fresh water and dry afterward.

You do not need to charge it regularly in the same way you would a rechargeable electronic device. Simply wearing the watch and exposing it to ambient light (indoor or outdoor) is usually sufficient to keep it powered. It can run for months on a full charge even in the dark.

The green dial has a textured finish that adds depth and visual interest. Its visibility will depend on lighting conditions, but the crystal glass provides a clear view. The markers and hands are designed for contrast to ensure readability.

Citizen watches typically come with a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects. The exact duration can vary by region, but it is often around 5 years for the movement, with 1 year for the battery (for battery-powered models) or power cell (for Eco-Drive models). Please refer to the warranty card included with your purchase for specific details.

The watch's power reserve is low. Expose the watch to a bright light source for several hours to recharge the Eco-Drive movement. Ensure the crown is pushed in.

The chronograph may need to be reset manually. Pull the crown out to the first click. Press the bottom pusher (B) repeatedly until the subdials align correctly at zero. Push the crown back in.

Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position. Pull it to the first click for the date and to the second click for the time. Do not attempt to change the date while the time is between 9 PM and 1 AM, as this can damage the movement.

For stainless steel bracelets, it is recommended to visit a professional jeweler or watch repair shop for precise sizing. Attempting to adjust it yourself without proper tools can damage the links.
