Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Keep track of everything from the hour to the current month--and all that comes in between--with the smartly constructed Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 Strap Sport Watch. This solar-powered Eco-Drive watch never needs a battery and remains charged for months at a time, even in the dark. The distinguished brown tones of this watch begin with the round dial, adorned with three chronograph subdials, two of which are uniquely shaped--one in a crescent shape, the other like a paper-fan. These subdials overlay a unique textured background and are surrounded by a border of silver-tone Roman hour indexes. The outermost dial is two-tiered with a frame of second markers, marked in Arabic numerals in five-second increments, then continuing with another frame marked with the 12 months. The intricate dial is held by a durable stainless steel case and bezel, which connect to a strong brown leather dial that features a crocodile pattern and a handy deployment-clasp with a push-button. Boasting a durable mineral window and the reliability of Japanese-quartz movement, this classy contemporary timepiece is water resistant to 330 feet (100 M).

Summary of Features:

  • Retrograde perpetual calendar
  • Alarm
  • Dual time
  • Non-reflective mineral crystal
  • Month-Day-Date functions
  • 12/24 hour time
  • Screw-back case

The Citizen Story

The company was established in 1924. The founding fathers selected the name Citizen so it would be ""Close to the Hearts of People Everywhere"" and soon after adopted the company’s formal name, Citizen Watch Company.

During the last seventy-five years Citizen has expanded its business throughout the world and has achieved recognition as the global brand. The past twenty-five year period has coincided with the company’s dramatic rise to its current position as the world’s largest watchmaker, a distinction Citizen has held every year since 1986.

Beyond sheer size, Citizen is also recognized as a worldwide leader in advanced technology. From the world’s slimmest LCD watch to the first voice recognition watch and the world’s first professional dive watch with an electronic depth sensor, Citizen’s record of ""world’s firsts"" is unmatched.

More recently, Citizen has staked out a new position as the leader in timekeeping with its Eco-Drives watches that are light powered. With models ranging from dress models to sports models to professional dive watches, Citizen Eco-Drive runs continuously in any kind of natural or artificial light for a lifetime of use. Fueled by light, it never needs a battery.

This review is from: Citizen Men's BL8000-11X Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 Strap Sport Watch (Watch)
I really enjoy this watch. The calendar function (leap-year worked) and the timezone function are a big value add. The time of worrying about rewinding or battery power are over! Great purchase!

This review is from: Citizen Men's BL8000-11X Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 Strap Sport Watch (Watch)
This is my second Citizen Calbre Watch. The pictures don't do it justice. The brown dial is really sharp looking. The deployment clasp gives the watch a level of sophistication that others don't have. I Highly recommend checking this one out.

I travel a lot and love the easy of setting the local time. This feature allows you to adjust the time in 1 hour increments and when you go home you switch back to your time and the hands automatically move backwards or forwards depending on the time change.

The watch has a calendar feature which means you will no longer find yourself moving the date forward on short months. The watch even knows when leap year is.

In addition the watch has an alarm feature and a calendar feature. Neither of which I really use. The alarm is really too anemic to be of much use.

This review is from: Citizen Men's BL8000-11X Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 Strap Sport Watch (Watch)
This is my second Eco-Drive watch, and I love them both! While I don't use most of the functions (calendar, alarm, and local time), it's very nice to know that they are available. This is a very stylish and elegant watch, and I would recommend it to anyone.
