Citizen watches cover almost every style, from slim dress watches to rugged dive watches, and many run on Citizen’s light-powered Eco-Drive technology, so you don’t need to change batteries. At Clifton Jewelers, our Citizen selection includes 70 models, from the CITIZEN Limited Edition AQ4106-26L at $3,366 to the Eco-Drive One at $2,995. As a quick guide:
- Classic and dressy: the Corso or the women’s Citizen L collection
- Sporty and tough: the Promaster line, including a 300-meter Eco-Drive dive watch
- High-tech: the Attesa titanium watches with atomic or GPS satellite timekeeping
- Mechanical: the automatic Tsuyosa
This guide covers Citizen Eco-Drive watches first, then our picks of Citizen watches for men and Citizen watches for women.
Citizen Eco-Drive watches explained.
The Citizen Eco-Drive watches run using Citizen’s innovative light-powered technology. Eco-Drive technology uses any form of light, natural or artificial, to generate power. This means you never have to replace the batteries. The Promaster Dive BN1025-08L watch has a light-powered movement with a 365-day power reserve.
What this means for you:
- No regular battery changes needed. Just expose it to light regularly.
- Depending on the model, some have longer power reserves. The Promaster Dive has an Eco-Drive E365 movement, meaning it can last up to 365 days. The Citizen L Ceci has an E031 Eco-Drive movement with a power reserve of 6 months (as stated on their Australian website) or up to 180 days (as stated on their European website).
- Not all Citizen watches are Eco-Drive. We also have a Tsuyosa automatic (mechanical) and CZ Smart Bluetooth smartwatch. Each listing will state what movement it has.
Eco-Drive charging time varies by model. Charging in direct sunlight will be much quicker than charging indoors. It is best to place your watch in a well-lit area. If it has stopped after long periods in storage, then follow the charging instructions for your specific model. Avoid placing your watch near hot light sources, as this can cause overheating.
Citizen watches for men.
Our Citizen watches for men range from 300-meter dive watches to titanium Attesa models and automatic mechanicals. Here are our picks by style.
For water and adventure: Promaster Dive BN1025-08L, $775
The Promaster Dive BN1025-08L is built for the water. Its Eco-Drive E365 movement offers a 365-day power reserve, and it’s water-resistant to 300 meters, which our listing describes as suitable for professional scuba diving. The 46mm stainless steel case features an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a blue dial with a date window, and a BENEBiOL™ PU strap. It’s listed as in stock.
Other Promaster models on our site include the Promaster Marine NY0154-51L at $540, the Promaster Skyhawk Titanium JY8108-53E at $800, and the Promaster Skyhawk A-T JY8146-54E with atomic timekeeping at $1,025.
For the office: Corso and Classic
For a cleaner look with a suit, the Citizen Corso BU2013-08E is listed at $475, and the Citizen Classic Men’s Watch BU2112-06E at $360.
For tech lovers: Attesa
The Attesa line pairs Super Titanium™ cases with automatic time-setting technology, but two of the models we list work differently:
- Attesa CB0288-65L, $1,195. Citizen lists this model with Eco-Drive Atomic Timekeeping. It sets itself by receiving radio time signals in four regions, not by satellite. It has a 40.6mm Super Titanium™ case and bracelet and a world time bezel.
- Attesa CC4075-50L, $1,995. Citizen lists this model with Eco-Drive Satellite Wave GPS (F950), which sets the time from GPS satellite signals.
For mechanical fans: Tsuyosa
If you prefer a self-winding watch, the Citizen Automatic Limited Edition Tsuyosa Time Slip NJ0200-50E is listed at $495.
For chronograph fans: PCAT
Our PCAT chronographs range from the CB5919-00X at $725 to the CB5912-50E at $780.
Citizen watches for women.
Our Citizen watches for women focus on the Citizen L collection, with Eco-Drive dress watches for everyday wear, plus a few playful Disney designs.
Our top pick: Citizen L Ceci EM1160-58E, $380
The Citizen L Ceci EM1160-58E is listed at $380, with 4 in stock when we checked. According to Citizen’s official U.S. site, it has a 31.5mm silver-tone stainless steel case with a synthetic sapphire-set crown, a black dial with Roman numeral indices, an E031 Eco-Drive movement, a sapphire crystal, and 50 meters of water resistance. It works as an everyday watch or a dress watch.

How to choose the right Citizen watch
- If you swim, dive, or spend time outdoors, the Promaster is a good place to start. If you wear a suit or like to dress up, check out the Corso, Classic, or Citizen L range. If you’re a gadget lover, the Attesa range will keep you on time with either a radio or GPS signal from satellites.
- Consider the power source. If you never want to think about batteries, an Eco-Drive is perfect. If you love the mechanical side of watches and wear yours regularly, an automatic like the Tsuyosa is a good fit.
- Water resistance varies a lot. The Promaster Dive can resist up to 300m; however, the Citizen L Ceci has only 50m of water resistance, and that is only for still-water swimming.
- Some models on our website are shown as unavailable or have a long lead time. Please check the product page or get in touch with us.
