Citizen Eco-Drive wristwatch, gold-coloured steel, FE1242-78D

Gold-colored steel Citizen Eco-Drive wristwatch with mother-of-pearl dial and date display

The mother-of-pearl dial is the distinctive feature of this Citizen women's wristwatch: in the picture, the surface shifts from light blue to pink. Gold-colored Arabic numerals and hour markers stand out against the light background, and the date display is at three o'clock. The round steel case is 29.4 mm wide and 8 mm thick, and the watch weighs only 70 g. The gold-colored steel bracelet is 14 mm wide and fits wrists of 140–180 mm. A mineral crystal protects the dial.

The Eco-Drive watch is charged by light, so the battery never needs replacing. The power reserve is up to 240 days. Water resistance of 30 m / 3 atm withstands sweat, splashes, rain and handwashing, but the watch is not intended for swimming. The year 2026 is the 50th anniversary of Eco-Drive.
