Citizen Watch Commemorates its 'Eco-Drive' with Two new Models
Debra John — April 21, 2026
Citizen Watch has introduced two new models, the 'Endeavor Chrono' and the 'Fio,' to highlight the continued advancement of its Eco-Drive technology, a light-powered system designed to support sustainability in watchmaking. By converting natural and artificial light into energy, Eco-Drive eliminates the need for disposable batteries, reducing electronic waste and enabling longer product lifecycles.
The Endeavor Chrono demonstrates how sustainable technology can be integrated without compromising design or performance. Its dial features engineered sub-dials that allow light to pass through, ensuring consistent energy generation while maintaining structural integrity and visual detail.
The Fio model, on the other hand, extends this approach through a compact, vintage-inspired design that combines aesthetic versatility with long-lasting, battery-free operation. Together, these models reflect Citizen’s focus on environmentally responsible innovation, emphasizing energy efficiency, durability, and reduced material waste.
