Citizen Eco-Drive Chronograph Perpetual Calendar watch

Citizen is a globally recognised watchmaker with a rich history rooted in Japanese precision and innovation. The watch featured is a Citizen Eco-Drive, a pioneering technology developed by the brand that converts any light source into energy, eliminating the need for battery replacements. Originally founded as the Shokosha Watch Research Institute in 1918, the brand was later renamed Citizen to reflect its mission of being a brand 'close to the hearts of people everywhere'.

While the brand is quintessentially Japanese, manufacturing occurs across a sophisticated global network. Movements are primarily engineered and manufactured in Japan by Miyota (a Citizen subsidiary), while other components such as cases and bracelets, as well as final assembly, often take place in facilities located in China, Thailand, or Japan depending on the specific model range. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Citizen Watch Co., Ltd., which is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, and operates as one of the world's largest vertically integrated watch manufacturers.
