Citizen Promaster JV1006-51L Eco-Drive Watch, 43.92 mm, Blue, Men's

Eco-Drive Technology and Chronograph: Citizen JV1006-51L

Overview

The JV1006-51L is a Citizen men's watch that never runs out of battery: its Eco-Drive technology is powered by light. In winter, under a coat, charging slows down; placing the watch near a window from time to time tops it up. On the watch face, Arabic numerals and indices are set against a blue dial. The case and bracelet are made of stainless steel, and the diameter reaches 43.92 mm. The perpetual calendar eliminates the need to adjust the date at the end of the month. The JV1006-51L comes with a two-year warranty.

Case

Made of stainless steel, the case sits on the wrist with a diameter of 43.92 mm and a thickness of 13.95 mm. A sapphire crystal covers the dial, and a fixed bezel frames it; on the back, the caseback is solid. Thanks to its 200 m (20 ATM) water resistance, the watch is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for scuba diving.

Movement

The U822-08B caliber charges via light, from both daylight and lamps, eliminating the battery changes typical of conventional quartz watches. In addition to the time, the dial displays the full date digitally. Once fully charged, the watch runs for approximately 3 years in the dark. It adds an alarm, a backlit dial, a chronograph, shock detection, and a light indicator to the time display. The power reserve indicator and low charge warning show the charge level and when to expose the watch to light.

Bracelet

On the wrist, a silver-tone stainless steel bracelet with a deployant clasp fits between 22 mm lugs. Including the bracelet, the watch weighs 195 g.

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