Product details

The Citizen Eco-Drive Classic 8700 watch features a sophisticated blue dial with a silver stainless steel case and bracelet, measuring 42 mm in diameter. This timepiece utilizes Citizen's innovative Eco-Drive technology, converting both natural and artificial light into energy to power the watch without requiring battery replacements. The solar-powered movement ensures reliable timekeeping while reducing environmental impact. The watch displays hours, minutes, seconds, and date functions with clear, legible markers against the deep blue dial background. Water resistant to 10 bar (100 meters), this watch is suitable for swimming and snorkeling activities. The stainless steel construction provides durability and corrosion resistance, while the deployment clasp with push-button release offers secure and comfortable wear. The sapphire crystal glass offers exceptional scratch resistance and clarity. This model represents Citizen's commitment to precision timekeeping and sustainable technology, combining classic design elements with modern functionality. The watch maintains accuracy within ±15 seconds per month under normal conditions. The luminous hands and markers ensure readability in low-light environments. The 42 mm case size provides a balanced presence on the wrist, suitable for various occasions from professional settings to casual wear. Citizen's Eco-Drive system stores excess energy, allowing the watch to operate for extended periods in complete darkness. The watch comes with a five-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted to fit most wrist sizes between 150 mm and 210 mm circumference. The watch weighs approximately 150 grams, offering substantial presence without being overly heavy. This timepiece reflects Citizen's heritage of Japanese watchmaking excellence while incorporating contemporary technological advancements for reliable, maintenance-free operation.
