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.
