Amazon.com Product Description
As much a piece of jewelry as it is a timepiece, the two-tone Citizen Eco-Drive Lucca stainless steel women's watch is perfect for wearing to very special occasions. This luxurious watch is highlighted by a dazzling bezel that's bedecked with 28 tiny diamonds. It frames a lustrous mother-of-pearl dial background that's further accented by 12 diamonds acting as dial markers as well as gold-tone dagger hands (with seconds hand). Topping it all off is the silver winding crown's black cabochon (rounded crystal) accent. The stainless steel bracelet band mixes polished gold-tone and brushed silver finishes, and is 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 180-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

Fantastic Buy on a Great Watch!
I bought this watch for my wife and she simply loves it! My local jeweler has this watch priced at $500 marked down to $400! At this writing (7/8/07) this vendor has it marked at $285 and free shipping! Two other vendors on Amazon have prices of $300 and $390 with shipping cost of just under $8.00 each.

The picture in no way reflects the beauty of this watch! The two tone band is very nicely finished and the clasp is of A-1 quality. The face and crown of the watch have a total of 40 small diamonds and the mother of pearl face is beautiful! The style of this watch on one hand is casual so it can be worn every day but at the same time the mother of pearl and diamonds give it an elegance that is very dressy.

Citizen's "Eco Drive" is a wonderful innovation. Using available light, sun or man made it charges a cell for up to 6 months. That means no battery change, ever!

Ladies, if you wish to have a watch that looks every bit twice the price you are paying and one that is hassle free this is it! Men, you will not go wrong getting this for your lady. I am a watch fanatic and own over a dozen watches myself. I have started a collection for my wife and this is about her 5th watch. Out of every one I have purchased for her and myself, at this price this is the hands down winner when it comes to bang for the bucks!

Five plus stars!!!

Citizen Eco-Drive Watch w/mucho sparkle!!
I received this watch as a christmas gift. I love it. It is way more sparkly in person than the pictures show. It is comfortable, not too big and not too small. The two-tone makes it very versatile. I received the watch via 2-day mail and it came in a lovely gift box. It was an all-around great transaction.

Pretty watch
Watch looks just like pictured - very nice. The mother-of-pearl face framed in diamonds is stunning. Don't get this watch confused with the less expensive version of the Citizen Lucca.
