CITIZEN WATCH Co. "...in 1976, we created the world’s first light-powered watch. The technology was named Eco-Drive."
"Eco-Drive converts any kind of light into energy to power a watch, storing the surplus on a power cell. On a full charge, an Eco-Drive watch runs for months even in darkness with no need for regular battery replacement. It’s designed to charge from ordinary everyday light sources like indoor fluorescent lighting and desk lights. You can go about your everyday life confident that your watch will never stop."
Eco Drive watches use natural and artificial light to recharge, with a power reserve in the dark of up to over one and a half years.
Today, we have a pre-owned Citizen Promaster Skyhawk A-T analog/digital wristwatch also known as “Black Eagle” and reference JY0005-50E. Released in 2017, this watch redefines atomic timekeeping with radio-controlled accuracy in 4 zones combined with Eco-Drive technology.
It features world time in 43 cities, 1/100 second chrono up to 24 hours, perpetual calendar, 99-minute countdown timer, power reserve and 2 alarms.
It is a quartz watch powered by the Citizen-produced caliber U600 Eco-Drive movement. Featuring the Eco-Drive technology – powered by light, any light, never needs a battery.
Functions: - Synchronized to atomic time clock for superior accuracy. - Atomic timekeeping technology with synchronized time adjustment available in 43 cities. - 1/100 second chronograph measures up to 24 hours. - Perpetual calendar. - Dual time (second time zone). - 2 alarms. - 99-minute countdown timer. - Digital backlight display. - Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) display. - Power reserve indicator.
It has a brown dial with polish rings around the subdials. The Silver/luminous applied and faceted hour markers are perhaps the most blingy element on the dial, but in a good way since they are visually attractive and very legible.
The dial has an orange central second-hand as well as some additional orange accents to complement the design of the dial. The two digital displays are located at 3 and 9 position. The dial is also signed with the Citizen name/logo, Eco Drive and WR 200.
It is cased in a 46mm two-tone stainless steel black ion plating. Includes GMT, rotating slide rule bezel and anti-reflective mineral crystal (Impact and shatter resistant - anti-reflective coating deflects light). Water resistant 200 meters (20Bar/666ft) swimming, showering, and snorkeling.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended. Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
