Citizen BM8550-81AC Eco-Drive 41.8mm White Men's Watch

Light-powered, 100 m water resistance: the Citizen BM8550-81AC

Overview

The BM8550-81AC is a Citizen men's watch that never runs out of battery: its Eco-Drive technology is powered by light. Around the hands, Arabic numerals and indices mark the hours on the white dial. With a diameter of 41.8 mm, it features a case and bracelet made of stainless steel. No winding, no battery: only light keeps it running. This model comes with a 2-year warranty.

Case

The case of the BM8550-81AC is made of stainless steel; it measures 41.8 mm in diameter and 10.1 mm in height. The dial is protected by a mineral crystal, and a fixed bezel surrounds it. Thanks to its 100 m (10 ATM) water resistance, the watch can be worn while swimming or freediving, but not for scuba diving.

Movement

In the E101-00M caliber, the solar cell takes the place of the battery: it charges a rechargeable battery and is not replaced. The dial also displays the date and day. Without light, the watch can still run for several months if it has been fully charged. When it has been without light for too long, a low charge warning lets you know.

Bracelet

The watch features a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet with a deployant clasp. Once assembled, the watch weighs 131 g.

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