Citizen Watches

This new venture was responsible for the marketing of the brand all around the world. By now the company started investing in technologies to equip their watches with revolutionary innovations. And finally, a series of mechanical watches were produced which proved to be a major breakthrough for the Japanese watch industry. One such model from the collection of mens Citizen watches from this period was the Citizen X-8 which was the first-ever titanium watch. During the period from 1975 through 1981, the Citizen Watch Company kept on unveiling new watches year after year holding the world’s first feature, thus making it to the top of the list of leaders in quartz watches. The introduction of citizen solar watch was another headway step for the Citizen Group, as these were the world’s first solar-powered analog quartz watches. This watch set the stages for the upcoming Citizen watches Eco Drive, thus playing the role of a forerunner. The Citizen Eco Drive watches were the company's most important and successful products that were ever launched.

Later in the year 1995, the Citizen Eco Drive technology revised itself that took the quartz technology to a new height and this was done by launching the watch powered by natural or artificial lights. The Citizen Eco Drive range of watches has helped the Citizen Watch Company to become the world's largest watch producer from the 1980s until today.
