Citizen Forma Eco-Drive Watch

Citizen’s Eco-Drive movement is by now a household name in the watch community—and for good reason. It’s powered by light alone, and never requires a battery, which means your watch will keep on ticking as long as it gets some occasional time in the sun or light. The Citizen Forma pairs the company’s caliber E111 Eco-Drive movement with a classic dress-watch aesthetic. Featuring slim markers and hands and a date window at 3 o’clock, all packed into an easy-wearing 37-millimeter case, the Forma goes great with a collared shirt or polo. The sapphire crystal keeps the pristine dial protected on more rigorous outings, too.

The Citizen name is more than just that—it’s a promise to citizens around the world to create quality, accessible timepieces that drive our planet forward. Founded in 1918, Citizen has been an innovator in the watchmaking industry for more than a century. The oil crisis of 1973 proved to be a turning point for the brand. As global awareness of alternative sources of clean energy spiked, Citizen rose to the challenge and created Eco-Drive: a solar-quartz movement powered entirely by light, eliminating the need to replace harmful watch batteries. Today, Eco-Drive is at the heart of almost all Citizen watches, carefully tracking the time and lighting the way for a better world.
