Citizen Calendrier Moonphase – AP1050-81A – Eco-Drive (Solar-Powered) – Sapphire Crystal

Review of Seiko Moonphase AP1050-81A

Eco-Drive watches run on energy converted from artificial or natural light, with the energy stored in a mercury-free battery to maintain the watch’s operation. This is one of Citizen’s flagship technologies and has established the brand’s reputation.

The Citizen Moonphase AP1050-81A model showcases a classic beauty, meticulously crafted with intricate details on the watch face.

Good Price, Good Quality
In the Japanese market, only Seiko and Citizen are capable of producing a watch from raw materials to final craftsmanship, often referred to as In-House watches.

In-house manufacturing allows for better quality control and cost savings. As a result, Citizen can easily compete on price and offer affordable Citizen watches to consumers.

Classic and Elegant Dial
The Eco-Drive Moonphase AP1050-81A features a white dial with dark blue Roman numerals and a lighter shade of blue for the hands.

First: At the center of the dial, there are four hands. The crescent-shaped hand indicates the date, rotating around the Latin numbers from 1 to 31, corresponding to the monthly calendar.

Eco-Drive – Citizen’s Pride
When the watch is kept in darkness for an extended period, the second hand will temporarily stop to save energy, while the other hands continue to function normally. When the reserve energy is low, the watch alerts you with a two-second jump of the second hand.

With Eco-Drive technology, you can charge the watch under any type of light, including artificial light. It is recommended to use incandescent or halogen lamps and place it at temperatures below 77.8 degrees to prevent damage to the watch.
