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.

I received this watch as a gift and am really enjoying wearing it. The face is mother of pearl that changes color depending on what I am wearing. It is a classic and elegant watch. I like the date feature as well.

This review is from: Citizen Women's EW0240-53N Corso Eco-Drive Diamond-Accented Watch (Watch)

Bought this for my wife. The other reviewers are right, the dial is a lot more dark pink/purple than it looks here in the picture on Amazon, so the whole look is much darker/not as light blue/crisp as it appears here.
Surprised to see the other review which said this watch is "big", in my opinion it is rather small and in fact is smaller than the rest of my wife's watches. In either case if size is a concern you should be checking these out in person rather than buying them sight-unseen online, right?
Besides the color-change surprise, the watch is quite nice. I notice my wife tends to wear it more than the other watches I've purchased for her.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Watch, Dial Color Different from Picture, January 3, 2006

By

This review is from: Citizen Women's EW0240-53N Corso Eco-Drive Diamond-Accented Watch (Watch)

This watch is very nicely designed. The diamond accents are big enough to see and the band is understated. However, the dial is made of mother of pearl. I think this is why it looks different in the picture. The dial is more purple, but has many colors such as greens and reds due to what it is made of. I was concerened that is might have a hard shipping trip. However, mine arrived nicely in its boxs.
