Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Dressy enough for your business couture, this contemporary styled Citizen Disney Mickey Eco-Drive silver-tone stainless steel means' watch also showcases your fun and fanciful side. It has a large, round silver stainless steel watch case that's topped by a slightly raised bezel. It frames a classic black dial background that's accented by luminous, silver baton hands, small minute indexes, and an embossed Mickey logo in silver at 6 o'clock. It also features a silver link bracelet band with deployment buckle, date display at 3 o'clock, scratch-resistant mineral crystal, and water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet).

This watch is also powered by Citizen's unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artificial light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously. With regular exposure to light, the Eco-Drive continuously recharges itself for a lifetime of use. It has a 180-day power reserve and a low-charge indicator. It's backed by Citizen's 5-year warranty (from original date of purchase).

Eco-Drive Frequently Asked Questions
How can you tell if the Eco-Drive watch is getting enough light?
In normal use, the watch displays the time and the sweep-second hand moves in one second intervals. A very important feature of Eco-Drive is the Low Charge Warning Mode which as a result of low battery voltage, causes the second hand to jump two seconds at a time (while still keeping correct time).

How long will an Eco-Drive watch run after it is fully charged?
If your watch is put away where no light is available to it while in a fully charged state, depending on the model, it will run for from 45 days to 5 years.

How can the Eco-Drive watch be recharged?
Besides sunlight, it can be safely charged by exposing it to a fluorescent desk lamp, with the dial (face) up and within about 8 inches or an incandescent lamp (regular light bulb) no closer than 20 inches. Never use a halogen lamp since the heat generated by it can cause damage to your watch. The most efficient and the quickest is in direct bright sunlight (not windowsill) and never on the dashboard of a car.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Attractive dial and strap...date a little small., December 17, 2006

My wife and I bought ourselves the mens and womens versions of this watch in 2005. After over a year of ownership, I can say the following about them:

Pros:

1) Nice sunburst pattern to the dial under light
2) Case design is similar to a certain Jaeger LeCoultre
3) Slim leather strap is comfortable

Cons:

1) Date a bit on the small side. I might add a magnifier loupe to it to make it easier to read, but that would look a little odd on a rectangular-case watch to some people

All in all, it goes well with a dress outfit. Love the unfailing reliability of the Eco-Drive. Well worth the money.
