Citizen are renowned for reliability at a fraction

as being ahead of their time, their brand stands for

ordinary people.
Brand History
The company was originally founded in 1918 as Shokosha Watch
Research Institute, the name Citizen came from the first
pocket-watch they produced in 1924. The pocket watch was
named Citizen because they hoped they could make the luxury
pocket-watch affordable to ordinary citizens throughout the
world. The Citizen Watch Company Ltd was established in 1930
and they have been the world's largest watch manufacturer
ever since 1986.
Environmentally Friendly
In 2014 Eco-Drive technology helped Citizen become the first
watch manufacturer to win the gold prize at the Eco Mark
Awards.
The revolutionary Citizen
Eco-Drive technology harnesses the power of light, from
both natural and artificial sources, then converts it into
energy to power the watch. The cutting edge technology has
created a range of watches which will never require a
battery! Enough energy is stored inside the watch to power
it for six months in darkness once fully charged and longer
with exposure to artificial lighting. Eco-Drive has had a
positive impact on the environment since the first Eco-Drive
watches were released in 1995 by keeping 40 million watches
out of landfills.
Timekeeping With Extreme Precision
Citizen are always developing and perfecting new
technologies. After perfecting Eco-Drive they moved onto
atomic timekeeping, which works through regularly receiving
an accurate radio signal to provide extreme precision. Some
of the watches that harness the power of atomic timekeeping
are the Citizen
Radio Controlled Titanium Skyhawk, Citizen
Perpetual Calendar Chronograph and Citizen
Radio Controlled World Timer. Now, Citizen have turned
their efforts towards GPS watches with the new Citizen
Satellite Wave-Air range. This allows for accurate
timekeeping wherever you can see the sky.
Built to Last
Citizen watches are reliable and will stand the test of
time. For your piece of mind all Citizen watches come with a
5 year guarantee which is extended for a further year when
