Citizen is moving into the future with three concept edition watches and a policy to emphasize on the “fusion of technology and beauty.”
The three timepieces--Eco-Drive Ring, Eco-Drive Dome and the Eco-Drive Vitro--come with a sleek futuristic image and a selection of solar cell features.
Each watch harnesses the sun for power using different parts of the watch (casing, glass, etc.). The Citizen watches are designed ahead of their time and with the intention of being produced in limited quantities, they make for a pretty awesome eco-collection.
