About 3 years ago, Citizen debuted the original Satellite Wave Limited Edition, including 990 pieces. These timepieces were nearly impossible to find – were sold out, 2 months before they even came in. The technology, these innovative watches were made with was brand new then, and has even been improved for today.

For 2013, Citizen has relaunched the Satellite Wave as a member of the Promaster Air series. The new watches have a different design, and some technological improvements, as well.

The Promaster collection is a favourite for athletes, and people who like to play sports in their free time, because these timepieces cover all sporting needs, no matter how unforgiving the conditions are.

How does Citizen Eco-Drive work?

Citizen Eco-Drive technology converts natural and artificial light into energy. It recharges continuously in any kind of light. Eco-Drive timepieces are unstoppable and never need a battery-change.

But how does it work exactly? Natural and artificial lights are absorbed through the dial. A special solar cell converts the light into energy. The energy is stored to power the watch, even in the dark, from 135 days to 7 years, depending on the model.
