The Citizen Eco-Drive Marine 188 AW1888-53E combines a bold black dial with large luminous hour markers and hands for an easy-to-read, diver-inspired look. Its fixed bezel with an aluminium insert adds a sporty finishing touch without functioning as a rotating dive timer.
The 44mm stainless steel case pairs with a matching steel bracelet and features mineral glass with a magnifier over the date window. With 100-metre (10 BAR) water resistance, the watch is suitable for swimming and everyday wear, but not scuba diving.
Citizen's Caliber J810 Eco-Drive converts light into energy stored in a rechargeable cell, reducing the need for regular battery replacement. From a full charge, it offers approximately eight months of operation without additional light exposure, plus an insufficient-charge warning and overcharge prevention.
