The Citizen Watch Co. Ltd was established in 1930 and is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. To date, 293 million Citizen watches have been produced. The name of the watches, Citizen, was chosen to show a desire to produce excellent products for all citizens in the world. At the forefront of technology since its inception, the Citizen Watch Co. produced the first alarm watch in 1958, the world’s thinnest wrist watch with date, only 4.48 mm in thickness in 1965, and the world’s first analogue solar powered watch in 1976. Citizen Watches remain at the forefront of new technology today with ground breaking innovations.

Citizen Watches strive to create harmony between man and machine. They were the first company to address the issue of metal allergy by selling watches made with titanium, and thus proving that titanium did not cause metal allergy. Your Citizen watch will maintain its beauty and luster for many years to come due to Duratect, a revolutionary technology which involves a special treatment on existing materials like stainless steel or titanium to harden the surface. The Eco-Drive watch, running solely on the power produced by light from any source is another great innovation from Citizen Watches. The secret of Eco-Drive lies in its reserve battery which contains no toxic elements as mercury, and acts as a reservoir to store the energy converted from light. When fully charged, your Eco-Drive Citizen watch can run on from two to six months, depending on its model. This exciting technology also demonstrates the commitment of Citizen Watches to the environment as well as to the consumer.

Citizen Watches are the leaders in innovative and revolutionary technology coupled with exciting styling for all citizens of the world, whether you are looking for a dress watch or the leading technology in sports watches. So confident in the reliability of its watches, Citizen warranties all timepieces for 5 years.
