Citizen CA0690-88L Eco-Drive Chronograph 44mm Blue Men's Watch

CA0690-88L: Citizen men's watch with chronograph function and blue dial

Overview

The Citizen CA0690-88L is an Eco-Drive men's watch: it is powered by light, with no battery to replace. The time is displayed on a blue dial marked with Arabic numerals and indices. For storage, it is best to leave the watch in a lit room rather than in a closed drawer. The same stainless steel is used for the 44 mm case and the bracelet. It features a chronograph controlled by the case pushers.

Case

Its stainless steel case measures 44 mm in diameter and 13 mm thick. Swimming and free diving are possible, but scuba diving is not: it is water-resistant to 100 m (10 ATM). A mineral crystal covers the dial, and a fixed bezel frames it; on the back, a solid caseback closes the case.

Movement

The Eco-Drive technology takes the form of the B612-00Z caliber: solar cell, rechargeable battery, no battery to replace. When light is scarce, a full charge provides several months of power. A glance at the dial shows the date in addition to the time. A low-charge indicator monitors the power reserve and signals insufficient light. It also features a 24-hour display and a chronograph.

Bracelet

Citizen has fitted this case with a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet, closed by a deployant clasp, and a 22 mm lug width. In total, the watch weighs 157 g, with a 166 mm bracelet. The included warranty lasts 2 years.

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