Eco-Drive
The Citizen Eco-Drive Nighthawk is a light powered watch. This means you don’t need any batteries whatsoever. Citizen has pioneered and developed this technology over a period of many years and the Eco-Drive range is incredibly well known.
While battery replacement isn’t usually a make or break when choosing your watch, it’s a great additional feature to have. Any source of light is enough to keep the Eco-Drive powered and running, but even during the night stored power will keep things going.
