Amazon.com Product Description
Make a dazzling entrance to any high-society gathering with the two-tone Citizen Eco-Drive Lucca stainless steel women's watch--as much a piece of jewelry as it is a timepiece. This luxurious watch is highlighted by a dazzling silver and gold-tone bezel that's bedecked with 28 tiny diamonds. It frames a shimmery bluish mother-of-pearl dial background that's accented by gold-tone Dauphine hands (with seconds hand) and dial markers. Topping it all off is the gold winding crown's black cabochon (rounded crystal) accent. The stainless steel bracelet band mixes silver and gold-tone links, and is joined by a push-button deployment clasp. Other features include a date function at 3 o'clock, water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet), and a scratch resistant mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating.

This watch is 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. This watch's Eco-Drive provides a 178-day power reserve, and it can be recharged with just 2 hours of exposure to light.

The Citizen Watch Brand

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 Ecologically Friendly 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.

Eco-Drive Frequently Asked Questions (See the full Citizen Eco-Drive FAQ here)

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.

Customer Reviews

Citizen Lucca Eco-Drive is Fabulous
I'm a watch freak -- I have over 15 of them from deco windups to sterling and gold. I was getting tired of the non-windups all seeming to need batteries at the same time, so I liked the look of the eco-drive and decided to get watch # 16. WOW is it great. A few minutes a day in sunlight or artificial light and it's going and going. Now I wear this watch all of the time. When I had a few links taken out of the band, my jeweler said the eco-drives were VERY good watches. The price on Amazon was amazing, too.

Great watch
I just received my watch today and it's beautiful. It looks exactly as pictured and arrived in an attractive box and with all the necessary user manuals. It was very easy to set the date and time. I brought it to my jeweler and had him take out a couple links (which was easily done). I would definitely recommend this watch to anyone. And the price can't be beat! I hope to use it for years to come.

excellent service from Amazon, beautiful watch for work and play. And never needing to change the battery is a plus I'm looking forward to.
