Collection: Women's Eco-Drive Watches

Finding the right women’s Eco-Drive

A women’s Citizen Eco-Drive charges from any light, indoors or out, and never needs a battery change, so a watch you wear most days keeps running on its own. Sizes run from two-hand Fio watches 18.4 mm across to a 37 mm Calendrier with a moon phase, and water resistance varies just as much, so it pays to check both.

Small and fine

The Fio is the smallest, at 18.4 mm, with two hands on a fine bracelet or a leather strap, and some Fio models take a slim rectangular shape. The oval L Rainell starts at 20 mm, and the Axiom at 23 mm is part watch, part bangle, with a crystal-set case on a slim steel band. Fio and Axiom are rated 30 metres, for rain and hand-washing; the L Rainell is rated 50 metres, which is fine for swimming. Our small women’s watches page gathers the petite sizes from all three of our brands.

Everyday sizes

Many women’s watches run from about 26 to 36 mm, and that’s where most of this range sits. The 27 mm Citizen Corso runs its case straight into an integrated bracelet and is water resistant to 100 metres, so swimming and snorkelling are fine; its luminous hands stay readable in the dark. The Citizen L models, the Ceci, the L Round and the L Classic, put sapphire crystal over the dial in cases from about 28 to 33 mm. The Peyten comes in 30 and 33 mm, and the Silhouette Crystal in 28 and 30 mm.

More on the dial

If you want more than the time, two lines stand out. The Citizen Calendrier, at 37 mm, shows the month, day, date and phase of the moon on a mother-of-pearl dial set with diamonds. Because it runs on light, the calendar keeps going without a battery change, and it’s water resistant to 50 metres. The 36.5 mm Promaster dive watch is rated Diver’s 200m for scuba diving, with a rotating bezel and luminous hands and markers, on rubber or steel.

Questions

How do I keep a small Eco-Drive charged? Normal wear in daylight is usually enough. A watch that lives under a sleeve or in a drawer may need some time by a window now and then. If the seconds hand starts jumping every two seconds, it’s asking for light. Read how Eco-Drive works for more.

Does it come with a warranty? Yes. Ducci is an authorized Citizen dealer, so every watch on this page carries the full manufacturer warranty.
