Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Professional Diver Watch #BM8230-58A

Make a powerful statement with the Citizen BM8230-58A stainless steel men's diver's watch--it'll feel at home in both the boardroom or a wakeboard. This large, round watch measures 1.6 inches in diameter and is water resistant to 200 meters (660 feet). It's also powered by Citizen's unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artifical light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously. With regular exposure to light, the Eco-Drive continuously recharges itself for a lifetime of use.

The stainless steel watch case includes a unidirectional rotating bezel with a combination of marks and numerals. It has a silver dial background with large, luminous baton hands, red second hand and dial markers, and a day/date function at 3 o'clock. The silver stainless steel bracelet band is composed of bulbuous brushed and polished pieces and is joined by a push-button, fold-over clasp. Other features include Japanese quartz movement and Citizen's 5-year warranty.

Eco-Drive Frequently Asked Questions
How can you tell if the Eco-Drive watch is getting enough light?
In normal use, the watch displays the time and the sweep-second hand moves in one second intervals. A very important feature of Eco-Drive is the Low Charge Warning Mode which as a result of low battery voltage, causes the second hand to jump two seconds at a time (while still keeping correct time).

How long will an Eco-Drive watch run after it is fully charged?
If your watch is put away where no light is available to it while in a fully charged state, depending on the model, it will run for from 45 days to 5 years.

How can the Eco-Drive watch be recharged?
Besides sunlight, it can be safely charged by exposing it to a fluorescent desk lamp, with the dial (face) up and within about 8 inches or an incandescent lamp (regular light bulb) no closer than 20 inches. Never use a halogen lamp since the heat generated by it can cause damage to your watch. The most efficient and the quickest is in direct bright sunlight (not windowsill) and never on the dashboard of a car.
