The Citizen AW0153-04A is an Eco-Drive — powered by light instead of a battery. Any light source, indoor or outdoor, keeps the movement running, and a full charge holds for approximately 6 months in the dark. No battery to replace, no service visit for that reason, ever.
The dial is white, set in a 40.5mm gold-tone stainless steel case at 10.4mm thick, with clean line indices that keep the face legible and formal. A day/date display sits in an unusual split layout — day at 12 o'clock, date at 6 o'clock — rather than the single sub-dial most watches use.
Inside is Citizen's Caliber J800, accurate to within roughly 15 seconds a month. Mineral glass protects the dial, the case is rated 100m water resistant, and the whole piece rides on a black calf leather strap with a buckle clasp — 57 grams on the wrist.

Why You'll Love It
- 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.
- The day/date layout is genuinely different — day at 12 o'clock, date at 6 o'clock — instead of the single date window most watches default to. It reads more like a small-complication dress watch than a standard three-hander.
- Caliber J800 holds accuracy to roughly 15 seconds a month, well within what you'd expect from a quartz movement and steadier than most mechanical calibers.
- White dial with clean line indices keeps the face legible at a glance and formal enough for a suit, without competing with the gold-tone case.
- An Insufficient Charge Warning and Overcharge Prevention function protect the movement automatically — the watch manages its own charge, you don't have to think about it.
- 100m water resistance gives real everyday margin against rain, splashes and handwashing, well beyond what a dress watch needs.
- At 57 grams and 10.4mm thick, it wears light under a shirt cuff — closer to a dress watch than a tool watch in feel.

Frequently Asked Questions
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. Wear it normally with occasional light exposure and it stays charged indefinitely.
How long does the charge last if I stop wearing it?
Approximately 6 months from a full charge with no further light exposure. If the reserve runs low, an Insufficient Charge Warning function alerts you so you can put it back in the light before it stops. A short session in direct sunlight or under a bright lamp restores charge quickly.
How does the day and date display work?
The day of the week shows in a window at 12 o'clock and the date shows at 6 o'clock — a split layout rather than the single date window most watches use. Both are set via the crown; if you're unsure how, any City Chain outlet can walk you through it.
Is the case gold or steel?
Gold-tone stainless steel — a gold-coloured finish over steel, not solid gold. It gives the warmth of gold with the durability and price of a steel watch.
Can I swim or shower with this watch?
The case is rated to 100 metres, which covers handwashing, rain and everyday splashes comfortably. That said, the strap is calf leather — leather doesn't hold up well to sustained water exposure regardless of the case rating, so swimming and showering aren't recommended. Take it off before either.
How accurate is this watch?
Caliber J800 is rated to approximately ±15 seconds per month — typical for a quality quartz movement and considerably steadier than a mechanical watch.
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 40.5mm fit my wrist?
40.5mm sits comfortably in the standard men's range and suits most wrist sizes. At 10.4mm thick and just 57 grams, it sits low and light under a shirt cuff.
Is the strap adjustable?
Yes. The calf leather strap can be resized by adjusting the buckle position, and City Chain can fit a replacement strap in-store if the original wears out over time.
What warranty does this watch come with?
The AW0153-04A 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.
