Amazon.com Product Description
Make a dazzling entrance to any occasion with this silver-tone Citizen Eco-Drive stainless steel women's watch, which features a uniquely designed bezel that's appointed with glittering diamonds. It's also powered by Citizen's exclusive solar-powered Eco-Drive, so your battery will never run out. The mid-sized, round watch case is topped by the Riega's signature bezel with machine-cut accents and coin-edged detailing, and is adorned with a total of 32 tiny diamonds--both on top of the bezel and acting as dial markers on a black background inner bezel. It frames a luscious blue mother-of-pearl dial with silver dagger hands (and seconds hand). It's matched to a stainless steel bracelet band with rounded, polished links, and it's joined by a push button deployment clasp. Other features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet), which will protect the watch from rain and accidental splashes.

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 135-day power reserve.

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

Exactly what I wanted!
I always wanted a mother of pearl face and I love the sparkle of jewels; best of both worlds for me! This picture does not do it justice as with most jewelry. I've also enjoyed having the mix of the brushed and shiny finish on the band. Very simple to size and not bulky like some I looked at. Don't have to worry about washing your hands or taking shower with it. I'm not sure I'll risk swimming with it, although online it says you can; the book says you can't...
I am thoroughly enjoying it though!

Eco Drive and Diamonds- what more could a girl want :)
I have 3 Eco Drive watches. I love them all, but this is by far my favorite. I wear it everyday, just the right amount of glitz. I have a 4 figure high end diamond watch, but I just love this one. Citizen seems to have cornered the market on automatic watches. My hubby and I have had other brands, but Citizen Eco Drives are far superior.

Really Happy with Riega
I wanted this watch for evening wear and the fact that you don't have to buy a battery for it. I like the eco-drive technology.
The watch looks great, it's different and is very pretty.
I think it's too much for everyday wear with all the diamonds but I like it. If you want a special occassion watch I recommend this one.
