Citizen AT2568-82E Chronograph Eco-Drive 43mm Black Men's Watch

Battery-free Eco-Drive light-powered watch: Citizen AT2568-82E

Overview

The AT2568-82E is one of Citizen's solar-powered men's watches, with no battery to replace. The indices guide the reading on a black dial. The same stainless steel is used for the 43 mm case and the bracelet. It features a chronograph for measuring durations. Citizen introduced its first analog solar watch in 1976: the Eco-Drive continues this history. This model comes with a 2-year warranty.

Case

Made of stainless steel, the AT2568-82E case measures 43 mm in diameter and 10.73 mm thick. A mineral crystal covers the dial; a fixed bezel frames it, and the movement is hidden behind a solid case back. The watch is suitable for pool lengths and free diving, without claiming to be for scuba diving, thanks to a 100 m (10 ATM) water resistance.

Movement

The movement is based on the H500-00M solar caliber, which converts the light captured by the dial into energy and stores it. It also features a 24-hour display and a chronograph. Several months of power reserve: that is what a full charge provides when the light disappears. The dial also features the date. A low charge is announced by a warning before the watch stops due to a lack of light.

Bracelet

Citizen has fitted a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet to this case, with a 22 mm lug width. Once assembled, the watch weighs 150 g.

Supplied with: Storage box, presentation pad, user manual.
