The Citizen BM6973-97A is a slim, minimalist Eco-Drive finished entirely in rose gold-tone — the case, fixed bezel, hands and index hour markers all carry the same warm tone against a clean white dial. It's a genuinely cohesive, tonally consistent piece rather than a steel watch with a single gold accent.
At just 8.2mm thick, the 40mm stainless steel case sits low and slides easily under a cuff. Sapphire crystal protects the dial — a meaningful step up from the mineral glass used on many entry Eco-Drive pieces — and a date window sits at 3 o'clock for everyday practicality.
Inside is Citizen's Caliber E111 Eco-Drive — no battery, ever, with a full charge holding for approximately 6 months in the dark. The matching rose gold-tone bracelet closes on a fold-over clasp with a safety release, and the case is water resistant to 50 metres.

Why You'll Love It
- The rose gold-tone finish is genuinely all-over — case, bezel, hands and markers all carry the same warm tone, rather than one gold accent against plain steel.
- At just 8.2mm thick, this is a genuinely slim watch that sits low on the wrist and slides easily under a shirt cuff — a real point of difference from bulkier Eco-Drive pieces.
- Sapphire crystal is meaningfully more scratch-resistant than the mineral glass found on most Eco-Drive watches at this price, keeping the dial clearer for longer.
- No battery, ever. Eco-Drive converts any light — sunlight or an office desk lamp — into the energy that runs the watch, so there's no dead-battery surprise and no battery-replacement visit.
- A full charge holds for approximately 6 months with no light at all. Ordinary daily wear keeps it topped up indefinitely.
- A fold-over clasp with a safety release keeps the bracelet secure on the wrist, adding real peace of mind for daily wear.
- Part of Citizen's Pair Series, this is the confirmed companion piece to the women's EW2313-93A — a genuine coordinated set for couples, not a loosely-matched pairing.
- An all-steel, rose gold-toned build gives this real everyday durability with a genuinely dressed-up look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the case solid gold?
No. The case, bezel, hands and bracelet are all rose gold-tone stainless steel — a gold-toned finish over steel, giving the warmth and colour of gold with the durability and price of a steel watch.
What is Eco-Drive?
Eco-Drive is Citizen's light-powered movement technology. A cell beneath the dial converts any light source — sunlight, a lamp, an overhead office light — into energy stored in a rechargeable cell, so the watch never needs a battery.
How long does the charge last if I stop wearing it?
Approximately 6 months from a full charge with no further light exposure. A short session in direct sunlight or under a bright lamp restores charge quickly.
What's the difference between sapphire and mineral glass?
Sapphire crystal, used here, is significantly harder and more scratch-resistant than the mineral glass found on most Eco-Drive watches at this price, so the dial stays clearer for longer with everyday wear.
Is this part of a matching couple's set?
Yes. This is the men's piece in Citizen's Pair Series, designed to match the women's EW2313-93A — same white dial, rose gold-tone finish and sapphire crystal, in proportions suited to each wrist.
Can I swim or shower with this watch?
The case is rated to 50 metres, which covers handwashing, rain and everyday splashes comfortably. It's not intended for swimming, showering or diving.
Does an Eco-Drive watch need servicing?
Far less than a mechanical watch — there's no mainspring or balance assembly to wear in the same way. The rechargeable cell is designed to last many years under normal use. Bring it to any City Chain outlet if you notice reduced charge retention over time.
Will 40mm fit my wrist?
40mm sits in the middle of the modern men's range and suits most wrist sizes comfortably. At just 8.2mm thick, it sits noticeably slimmer than most Eco-Drive watches.
Is the bracelet adjustable?
Yes. The bracelet can be resized by adding or removing links. City Chain offers complimentary bracelet sizing at any outlet — bring your warranty book along for the service.
What warranty does this watch come with?
The BM6973-97A comes with a 3-year warranty when purchased from City Chain Singapore, an authorised Citizen retailer. Keep your warranty card and proof of purchase — both are required when submitting the watch for service at any City Chain outlet.
