Description

A watch like this says you mean business. Crafted in stainless steel with a black dial, luminous hands, date indicator and sophisticated black leather strap. Featuring our Eco-Drive technology – powered by light, any light. Never needs a battery. Caliber number J165. A revolutionary timepiece, the Citizen Men's Strap Eco Drive Watch definitely deserves a closer look. This watch's Eco-Drive technology is fueled by light, so it never need winding or a battery. Its outward presentation begins with a 40mm stainless steel case and bezel. These stainless steel elements hug a bold black dial, which is protected by a hardened mineral crystal and features silver-toned stick markers and hands powered by reliable Japanese quartz movement. The dial also features white second markers around the outer rim and a date display window at the 3 'o clock position. A stylish synthetic leather band looks great as it comes to a reliable buckle clasp. P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Since its foundation in 1930, CITIZEN has promoted a multi-cultural mindset that fosters excellence and creativity. The very name of the brand conveys a deep respect toward craftsmanship and considered as familiar by citizens the world-over. So as a “citizen” of the world, we bear the responsibility to help cultivate a culture of positive change and on-going evolution through our craft. We take that mission seriously and steadfastly welcome what the future may bring. As a true manufacture d’horlogerie, CITIZEN integrates a comprehensive manufacturing process from creating individual components to a watch’s final assembly. It’s an artisan’s approach to watch making based on pushing forward the boundaries of technology and leveraging our experience toward exploring new possibilities. One pivotal technological breakthrough was the development of a light-driven watch. CITIZEN pioneered this engineering innovation well ahead of other watch manufacturers as early as 1976, which led to the launch of the highly acclaimed Eco-Drive in 1995. Utilizing electrical power converted from virtually any light source, this extraordinary innovation changed forever the way watches could be powered. Eco-Drive eliminated the need to ever replace batteries, which made it especially beneficial to areas where such specialist batteries were not obtainable. This leveled the field for citizens of virtually every country to be able to experience unrestricted joy of wearing and using a CITIZEN watch. The product development policy, “The Fusion of Technology and Beauty,” remains a constant motivation for us to merge cutting-edge technology with perfection of design beauty, which as a consequence inspires people to strive to be their best at any time. CITIZEN launches a new campaign in collaboration with Wieden+Kennedy, Better Starts Now. This is the simple belief that no matter who you are or what you do, it is always possible to make something better — and now is the time to start doing it. We believe that better and now are both infinite, and that there is always a next ‘better’ and a new ‘now’ in which you can start pursuing it. It was clear from the onset of this project that we are dedicated to this ideal…not to the past but to the present, and all the way we can improve it. To help communicate this belief to the world we have created a new global CITIZEN brand movie, brand identity and brand website that represents out Better Starts Now philosophy. See more

  • Beautiful quality watch
This watch is beautiful, elegantly simple, and works perfectly. The date display is perfectly sized. Unlike some watches I own, I can easily read the date on this one. I particularly wanted the solar charged battery that drives this watch. This is my second Citizen watch with the solar powered battery. I also purchased another one for my son a few years ago that he loves and wears daily. Citizen pioneered this technology and it works superbly. I will be reluctant to ever again purchase a watch that requires a traditional battery that wears out and requires replacement. When I first took this watch out of its box and set the time, it initially ran a little slow and did not keep time accurately. But, after allowing it to be exposed to light for a little while (less than an hour), I re-set it and it has kept perfect time since. I would have preferred a genuine leather wrist band. I will get one if and when I need a replacement band. But the one that comes with the watch is certainly attractive, comfortable and functional and you have to feel it and look very closely to notice it is not genuine leather. I give this watch five stars! ... show more

  • The Gentleman's Comprehensive Review of the Citizen Corso
As an owner of nearly four watches, and one who has seen several others, I consider myself something of a veteran of the field. Yet armed with all my knowledge, the greatest weapon in my arsenal is the trident of intuition, and as I cast it into the Amazonian sea, my heart found itself drawn one above all others: the Citizen Corso. The piece is wonderfully understated - minimalist, aesthetic, etc. — with a thinness of profile to match. It features neither the angular aggression of the steel G-Shock, nor the ostentatiousness of "fashion" watches. No, the Citizen Corso is a watch for a man who compensates for nothing, and presents himself with a grace and confidence of one who knows that value and sophistication are not mutually exclusive. Its inviting curves and eloquent stylings whisper sweet nothings to those who wear it, assuming they have ears for poetry. That which binds this sonnet of design to the wearer is, however, another story. The strap could best be described as hard. Erect. A seemingly Viagric concoction of hate and leather unsuitable for the sensitive wrist of a gentleman. It hurts, and frankly, it dishonors the memory of the cow that died for it. Jesus once declared that it would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus never owned a Citizen Corso, and on the subject of needles, it must be said that none, however thin, could ever hope to pierce that strap or its impossibly tiny holes. For the sake of brevity, I'll leave my issues with the strap. Cheap leather can be replaced, but timeless design stands alone. If you want a watch that will take you anywhere, get a Casio. If you want the latest and greatest software can offer, get a smartwatch. But if you want a watch that will earn you the respect of men, and the universal affection of women, go Corso or go home. ... show more

  • A great basic no frill watch
Ah, yes. The Citizen Corso Eco-Drive Japanese watch. There are many out there as indicated by the reviews on Amazon, I now have one to call my own. Compared to all the modern watches with the latest tech, this one will take you back in time when the days were simpler and we had to download and print maps on mapquest just to get around town. I have one too many g-shocks and a clunky Garmin 'life saving' watch that would allow me to be dropped off anywhere in the world and be able to find my way home. Wearing these watches tho isnt formal event friendly. I bought this Corso as a "dress" watch to wear to weddings to make conversation about how inexpensive this watch is. It won't impress my snooty extended family members with their Omegas, Panerai, and over priced men's jewelry, however the function of letting them know when to stfu is spot on. I just look down at my watch and at any moments notice to tell them what time it is. What a bargain! But I digress... This Citizen watch will do what its suppose to do and tell the time accurately without having to worry about changing the batteries every few years. It has a very simple look and is easy to read without all that bling. There is no anxiety causing seconds hand, so it'll take a little getting used to. Time and Date is incredibly easy to set. I'm not sure why some people on here needs instructions to figure this out, to each their own I guess... In all honesty, I don't go to many weddings so buying this watch was a bit of a lost cause to fill a gaping void in my soul. It's nice to be ready whenever I get that flowerly invitation! ... show more

  • A real winner
This is a very nicely designed and finished watch. The dial is simple (how I like them!) but quite beautiful with its starburst effect and the faceted hour markers. The lume allows me to easily read the time all night with no special 'charging'. I like the case shape and the lugs; it reminds me a bit of military watches. The tick (every other second) is inaudible under normal circumstances. This combined with the lack of a seconds hand makes for a very zen experience when checking the time. And of course with Eco-Drive it keeps going, and going, and going ... My one gripe is Citizen's standard gloss black padded leather strap that comes with it. It just doesn't match the spirit of this watch. I immediately put it on a Barton black silicone strap which suits it perfectly in my opinion. This combo is light, comfortable, classy and very modern looking. But it does push the total up around $100. Compared to other quartz watches, Eco-Drives aren't exactly cheap, but they are well-made and have a great warranty. The official water resistance on this one is just the basic "rain and hand washing" level, but I know that people have swum and even snorkeled with other Citizens that have the same rating. I wouldn't make a habit of it but if I needed to do it I wouldn't be too worried ... at least while the watch is new and the gaskets are fresh. ... show more
