Women's watches: Special offers

The Citizen brand's roots can be traced back to 1924, when the predecessor of the current Shokosha Watch Research Watch Institute launched its first wristwatch. The name of the Japanese watch empire, as we know it today, originated with the instigation of the mayor of Tokyo in the belief that the new brand will be accessible to all people. In the following years, Citizen gradually demolished the limits of Japanese brands - in 1956 the first shockproof model and in 1959 the first waterproof watch. However, there was no significant breakthrough until the advent of Eco-Drive technology in 1995. The strength of the Eco-Drive system lies in the ability to convert solar energy into electricity, which completely eliminates the need to replace the watch battery. Thanks to this innovation, which is constantly being improved and to which some models add radio time synchronisation with an atomic clock or sapphire crystal, Citizen has become the largest watch producer in the world and its Promaster or Satellite Wave models are world-famous concepts. The most common case materials in the brand's range are stainless steel, followed by light and strong titanium. However, Citizen does not forget the ladies. Ceramics, cut zircons or mother-of-pearl dials adorn every woman. Citizen watches have a guarantee period for 5 years.

Since its founding in 1918, CITIZEN has made it its goal to continuously research and develop watches that tell the exact time. CITIZEN has thus become a pioneer in the development of new movements and technologies that enhance the comfort of wearing a watch.

History of Citizen watches

Citizen was founded in 1918 in Tokyo. At that time, most watches sold in Japan were imported from overseas.  The founder of the company therefore decided to set up his own company and later a watchmaking school in order to train his own employees and make them experts in the manufacture of precision watches.

In addition to being a quality and accurate watch, it was also affordable to the public. Modern Citizen Watches are the result of extensive manufacturing processes, from the development to the production of individual components.

The company also sticks to its motto "Betters Stars Now". The belief in the motto has also translated into production and technology improvements. It is now possible to purchase a Citizen Eco-Drive watch with solar power and Satellite Wave timing system. Citizen's top quality watches also have a European headquarters, also based in Hamburg since 1969, where only the sales, marketing and servicing of the watches is carried out, not their manufacture.

Men's and ladies Citizen watches

Citizen is a global brand. The company currently operates in approximately 140 markets worldwide. Citizen men's and ladies watches are characterised by their functions, design and accuracy. In the offer you will find handheld, but also digital ladies and men's Citizen watches which have solar powered or are automatically wound.

For sports, gentlemen can use, for example, Citizen watches for diving. On the contrary citizen ladies watches are mostly made of ceramic, with cut cubic zirconia and mother-of-pearl dials.

There are 4 technologies used in Citizen watches, namely:

●      Citizen Eco Drive

●      Citizen Super Titanium

●      Citizen Satellite Wave GPS

●      Citizen Radio-Controlled

Citizen Eco Drive watch

Citizen Eco Drive Watch is the first light-driven analogue quartz watch, invented in 1976. The watch converts any kind of light into energy to power the watch and stores the excess in a power cell. When fully charged, the watch works for months even in the dark without the need for regular battery replacement. This is an eco-friendly watch.

Citizen Super Titanium watches

We also offer citizen titanium watches which was introduced in 1970. This is a high quality and solid watch with patented Duratect technology that is up to five times harder than stainless steel watches. Super Titanium Citizen watches are lightweight, skin-friendly, scratch and rust resistant even from salt water. That's why the Citizen Eco-Drive Titanium can be used for active sports.

Citizen Satellite Wave GPS watch

Citizen Satellite Wave GPS watch is characterised by its accuracy. This watch uses Citizen's unique technology, which receives position data and time signals from GPS satellites in orbit. As a result, the time on the watch is regularly updated, so the watch always shows the correct and accurate time and date.

In addition, the Satellite Wave GPS watch incorporates CITIZEN Eco-Drive light technology to give you accurate time wherever you are in the world.

Citizen Radio-Controlled Watches

Equally accurate watches also include Citizen Radio-Controlled Watches. This in turn captures the time signal from the atomic clock with an accuracy of 1 second every 100,000 years. Radio-Controlled system automatically corrects the time and calendar in your watch.

Combined with Citizen's light-powered Eco-Drive technology, the result is ultra-precise timekeeping without the need to change batteries or adjust the time. In 1993, Citizen launched the world's first multiband radio-controlled watch.

Citizen watch functions

All of these watches offer a range of features. The watch is also resistant to magnetic fields and shocks. Citizen watches have a 24-hour dial, alarm, depth gauge, timer, dual time, battery status indicator and backlight. This is a high quality and often elegant watch with a stopwatch and date display.

Citizen watch design

Citizen watches are also produced in other collections, namely:

●      Automat,

●      Blue Angels,

●      Citizen L,

●      Citizen Promaster,

●      Quartz,

●      Red Arrows.

All these collections differ from each other not only in function, quality, but also in design. Most often, however, these are silver watches or Citizen gold watches. It is not only the colour of the case that differs, but the overall colour of the watch.

If you're craving versatile silver, gold, black or a bold coloured watch, you'll find watches in a variety of colours in the Citizen range. Most often they have Citizen watches round shape a sapphire or mineral crystal.

As for the bracelet, Citizen watches most often have stainless steel bracelet titanium, but you can also find citizen watch strap made of leather. Citizen ladies watches are often set with diamonds, which is why this brand's watches are also considered an elegant fashion accessory.
