Coming from a brand that focuses almost completely on quartz movements, Citizen has perfected their proprietary Eco-Drive technology to develop a prodigious timepiece that pushed the boundaries of watchmaking. It is a well known fact that the Japanese often keep the best of their products for themselves. Being one of Citizen’s finest offerings intended for their home market, or better known as the Japanese domestic market (JDM), this is a true hidden gem for the zealous watch collector. To many die-hard mechanical watch enthusiasts in the watch community, quartz watches are often an afterthought, or rather a category of watches that are deemed undeserving of serious attention. However, this is no ordinary quartz watch. The Japanese have grown to be masters at producing incredibly precise quartz watches ever since the advent of this revolutionizing technology. After all, let’s not forget what brought the Swiss down to their knees during the early 70s to the late 80s. Citizen 'The Citizen' Eco-Drive White Ref. AQ1010-54A As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of movements and watches for over 100 years, Citizen is an venerable Japanese watch brand that holds a rich history of traditional watchmaking, advanced horological innovations and quality craftsmanship. In 1976, Citizen created the world’s first ever light-powered analogue quartz watch that captures light and converts it using an inbuilt solar cell. This marvellous invention known as the “Eco-Drive” established Citizen as an early pioneer in advocating for the environment, as well as being a significant stepping stone that shaped the brand’s future. Although Citizen is widely recognized for their well-built and affordable timepieces, Citizen’s ‘The Citizen’ collection steps into a top-tier, premium segment of the brand, offering one of the highest levels of refinement in its case finishes and performance that inevitably rivals the likes of Grand Seiko.
