Citizen BY1035-56L Eco-Drive 42mm Blue Men's Watch

Light-powered with Eco-Drive technology: Citizen BY1035-56L

Overview

The BY1035-56L is a Citizen men's watch that never runs out of battery: its Eco-Drive technology is powered by light. Measuring 42 mm in diameter, both the case and the bracelet are made of stainless steel. A radio receiver sets the watch to the official time. On the watch face, hour markers stand out against a blue dial. No winding, no battery: light alone keeps it running. The BY1035-56L comes with a 2-year warranty.

Case

The black case measures 42 mm in diameter and 10.72 mm in thickness; it is made of stainless steel. Above the dial, a sapphire crystal provides protection, and a fixed bezel frames it; on the back, a solid caseback seals the case. The stated water resistance is 100 m (10 ATM): the watch is suitable for swimming and free diving, but not scuba diving.

Movement

The H874-08Z caliber is an Eco-Drive movement: a solar cell placed beneath the dial converts light into electricity, which is stored in a rechargeable battery, so no battery needs replacing. The stated power reserve in complete darkness is 2.5 years, with a fully charged watch. The watch also features a 24-hour display and shock detection. As for readability, the dial displays the time, moon phases, date, and day. This Citizen handles short months and leap years with its perpetual calendar and displays the time in numerous time zones thanks to the world time function.

Bracelet

Citizen has fitted this case with a black stainless steel bracelet, secured by a deployant clasp. The watch weighs 137 g.
