Citizen BM8560-88E Eco-Drive 42mm Super Titanium Black Men's Watch

Citizen BM8560-88E, black dial and battery-free Eco-Drive

Overview

Citizen designed the BM8560-88E as a solar men's watch: its solar cell charges the rechargeable battery with every exposure. The 42 mm case and the bracelet are both made of titanium (Super Titanium). The titanium gives the watch a relatively low weight for its diameter. On a black background, Arabic numerals and indices provide the hour markers. In the dark, the stored reserve takes over; in the light, it replenishes itself.

Case

Crafted from titanium (Super Titanium), the BM8560-88E case measures 42 mm in diameter and 10.1 mm thick. Above the dial, a sapphire crystal provides protection; a fixed bezel frames it; on the back, a solid caseback closes the case. Water-resistant up to 100 m (10 ATM), the watch is suitable for pool lengths and free diving, without claiming to be suitable for scuba diving.

Movement

The E101-00K caliber draws its energy from light: the solar cell housed under the dial converts it into electricity and the rechargeable battery stores it. Once fully charged, it continues to operate for several months in the dark. In case of low charge, a warning prompts you to place the watch back in the light. As for readability, the dial displays the time, date, and day.

Bracelet

The case is accompanied by a titanium bracelet with a deployant clasp, 22 mm wide at the lugs. The scale indicates 91 g. This watch comes with a 2-year warranty.

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