A watch mechanism powered by light
Citizen Eco-Drive series watches are
powered by energy derived from a number of light sources. Let's look at the
mechanism that makes this possible.
The energy that powers the watch is
produced by
a solar cell. This amorphous silicon solar cell directly converts light
energy into electrical energy.
Making replacing batteries an act of
the past,
the eco-drive is a timepiece that converts the infinite source of light into
driving energy.
Not using batteries of a disposable type, this timepiece neither reduces the
limited resources on earth nor causes pollution either. It is easy on
nature.
The rechargeable battery does not incorporate any harmful metals like
mercury, lead, and cadmium. Besides, harmful products such as Freon are not
used for the production of the product and materials. That is because this
watch has been crafted in consideration to the earth.
Eco-Drive is
the generic name of Citizen watches that run on light-generated electricity.
