History

Our beginnings go back to 1924, when Citizen’s first forerunner, the Shokosha Watch Research Watch Institute, produced its first pocket watch the ‘CITIZEN’.

Time and again Citizen has pioneered ground breaking technologies and helped to make watches an indispensable part of modern life.  One of the latest milestones is our Eco-Drive system.  This is a light powered solution that eliminates the need to change batteries – a revolution that made it the first watch technology to receive the Japan Environment Association’s Eco Mark for environmentally friendly products.

Citizen Eco-Drive technology starts with a simple, yet revolutionary concept – a timepiece that never needs a battery change.  It harnesses the power of light – from any natural or artificial light source – and converts it into energy which is stored in an Eco-Drive energy cell.
