Turn time back to over 100 years when Citizen is first registered as a watch brand. Today, with established green-credentials (it developed the first ever light-powered watches back in 1976) and a flair for innovation, it’s known and loved for a new genre of design-driven watches. Powered by any light (making changing the battery a thing of the past), Eco-Drive technology means your Citizen watch has both style and staying power.
