Keep track of everything from the hour to the current month--and all that comes in between--with the smartly constructed Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 Black Ion-Plated Watch. This solar-powered Eco-Drive watch never needs a battery and remains charged for months at a time, even in the dark. The deep black tones of this watch begin with the round dial, adorned with three chronograph subdials, two of which are uniquely shaped--one in a crescent shape, the other like a paper-fan. These subdials overlay a unique textured background and are surrounded by a border of silver-tone Roman hour indexes. The outermost dial is two-tiered with a frame of second markers, marked in Arabic numerals in five-second increments, then continuing with another frame marked with the 12 months. The intricate dial is held by a durable black-ion plated stainless steel case and a matching bezel encrusted with crystalline gems. The wide black stainless steel dial that features both matte and polished finishes and a handy fold-over clasp with a hidden push-button. Boasting a durable mineral window and the reliability of Japanese-quartz movement, this classy contemporary timepiece is water resistant to 330 feet (100 M).

This is one of my three Citizen Eco-Drive watches and by far my favorite. I own about 15 watches and this one may be my favorite. It can be worn during any occasion, it looks fantastic, I always get compliments on it as well. The diamonds are not overboard for a Men's watch and the case is the perfect size (I know the huge frame is in style, this is the perfect size, larger than normal, but not to large).
LOVE THIS WATCH, March 6, 2010

I've had a few Citizen's, and I LOVE this model. Diamonds are not too big, and look nice on the black metal.
