While the company has not yet made a belt large enough to fit around a person’s chest, this has not stopped the Citizen watch from “close to the hearts of people all over the world.”
For almost 100 years, Citizen watches have produced watches that seem appropriate and support a lifestyle led by people all over the world.
The original name of a citizen, Shokosha Watch Research Institute, was founded in 1918. Since then, the company has changed its time, not only producing excellent men's and women's watches, but also diving watches, Eco-Drive watches and atomic watches.
This evolution of watches has established Citizen as the largest watchmaker in the world, a name that the company has spent the last 24 years, according to the US website.
Nevertheless, Citizen watches are determined not only by the massive size of the world timekeeping giant, but also by the creativity and innovations of the manufacturer.
According to the company, Citizen watches were responsible for the world's thinnest LCD watches and the first hours of voice recognition.
Citizen watches also gave the world a look at the first professional diving watch with an electric sensor when the company introduced it.
Citizen watches were also at the forefront in the global transition to alternative energy and green technology. The company is perhaps best known for its Eco-Drive collection of Citizen men's watches and Citizen watches, which never require the use of a disposable battery to power the movement inside the watch.
“Powered by light,” according to the design line motto, creates less waste and more use from the existing rechargeable power cell within the watch. The solar panel, which is almost invisible, which is installed inside the watch under the dial, is where the watch captures the light that is exposed and, in turn, is powered by it.
Citizen Eco-Drive watches can be charged with both natural sunlight and any artificial light. Throughout its life, Citizen Eco-Drive watches will never require replacing the battery.
Thanks to scratch-resistant mineral glass or sapphire-resistant crystals, strips and cases made of stainless steel, titanium or ceramics, the materials selected by Citizen watches are just as important for the company as chronometer accuracy, chronograph and radio-controlled accuracy .
The last entry of a citizen to the market is his radar chronometer with the atomic chronometer Skyhawk AT. This model automatically synchronizes with atomic clocks around the world, giving the owner time not only in his or her time zone, but in all time zones of the world.
Citizen watches for women do not have a lack of styles for ladies. Whether it is a frame inlaid with diamonds or a colored mother-of-pearl dial, Citizen women's watches give the wearer a unique sense of luxury style. And the style has not been sacrificed for being unfriendly, especially at Citizen for ladies.
Citizen Dive watches are also equipped with Eco-Drive technology for those users who want a watch for use in water. Citizen watches for divers have a 200-meter water resistance and thick elongated rubberized straps that are designed for installation on wetsuits. Some Citizen diving watches even contain electric sensors, depth sensors and diving computers for even the most demanding users.
According to a citizen, his name was chosen by his founding fathers, because it wanted to be "close to the hearts of people all over the world."
But at the moment Citizen watches will still be designed to be placed on the wrist, and this is not too far from the heart.
