What is Eco-Drive? The Eco-Drive is a concept that introduced us with various technical modifications over earlier solar-powered timepieces. These watches include lightcapturing cells that can be made indirectly concealed behind the dial. The technical policy that made the Eco-Drive theory see the light was the Eco-Drive calibre 7878 movement. This complication was the first light powered one where the solar cells could be seated under the dial. This novelty was enabled by remarkable developments in delicate film nebulous silicon solar cells. This mechanism converts light energy into electrical energy. This electrical energy is stocked in a rechargeable battery.
Citizen Eco-Drive BL5403-03X- The versatile watch for men:
This magnetic timepiece from the Eco-Drive collection of Citizen has been created with the help of functions like 24-hour indicator, alarm, chronograph and others. The 24-hour indicator watch is that type of watch that has an hour hand completing a revolution in every 24 hours. This kind of watch is specifically beneficial for aviators, space explorers, military personnel and others. This type of watch can be classified in two ways: a) noon at the top and midnight at the bottom, b) rotated 180 degree with midnight at the top and noon at the bottom. The alarm function is made to alert an individual or group of people at prior-set time. The basic property of it is to awaken people from their sleep. Most alarm-enabled watches emit sound or light. Some have sensors to track a person’s sleep stage. A chronograph is a type of watch that is used as a stopwatch fused with a display watch. Basically, a chronograph watch contains a several hands to gauge seconds, minutes, hours and even tenths of a second.
Here are the processes that show how Citizen EcoDrive watches function:
Changes any light into energyThe Eco-Drive watches are constructed in a way so that they can transform both natural and artificial light into energy that charges them. In addition to it, they do not need any battery substitution, charging or convolution to maintain consistent running.
Powers even in pale light-
Eco-Drive watches are made in such a way that they can produce the energy needed from any type of light source, no matter how faint it is. Light is the lone source of energy that is necessary to keep the time with an Eco-Drive watch.
Remains powered up to six months even in darkness-
The thing that makes Eco-Drive watches different than others is that they can keep on their performance even without getting charged for a time period of six months. It remains entirely powered even in full darkness. The hands stop ticking to save energy in darkness. Whenever light hits the watch, the hands move frequently and naturally to show the correct time.
