Setup

Initial Charging

Your Citizen Eco-Drive watch is powered by light. Upon receiving your watch, expose it to bright light (natural or artificial) for several hours to ensure it is fully charged. A full charge can last for months, even in the dark.

Setting the Time and Date

The watch features a screw-down crown to ensure water resistance. To set the time or date:

1. Unscrew the Crown: Gently rotate the crown counter-clockwise until it springs out.
2. Set the Date: Pull the crown out to the first click position. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date.
3. Set the Time: Pull the crown out to the second click position. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set by observing if the date changes at midnight.
4. Screw Down the Crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back in and rotate it clockwise while applying slight pressure until it is securely screwed down against the watch case. This is crucial for maintaining water resistance.

Operating the Watch

One-Way Rotating Elapsed Time Bezel

The Promaster Diver features a one-way rotating bezel, designed for measuring elapsed time, particularly useful for diving.

1. Align the Bezel: Rotate the bezel counter-clockwise to align the triangle marker (or 0-minute mark) with the minute hand at the start of your activity.
2. Read Elapsed Time: As time passes, the minute hand will move past the initial marker on the bezel, indicating the elapsed time in minutes. The bezel only rotates counter-clockwise to prevent accidental increases in recorded time, which is a critical safety feature for divers.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your watch, regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Water Resistance

Your watch is ISO Certified for 200M water resistance, making it suitable for professional marine activity and serious surface water sports, but not for saturation diving. Always ensure the crown is securely screwed down before exposing the watch to water.

The watch is shown partially submerged in water, demonstrating its robust water-resistant design suitable for aquatic environments.

Storage

When not in use, store your Eco-Drive watch in a place where it can be exposed to light periodically to maintain its charge. Avoid storing it in complete darkness for extended periods, as this may deplete the power reserve.

Troubleshooting

Watch Not Running or Hands Not Moving

If your Eco-Drive watch stops or the hands do not move, it is likely due to insufficient charge.

• Solution: Expose the watch to bright light (direct sunlight is ideal) for several hours. The watch should resume normal operation once it has accumulated enough charge. For a completely depleted watch, it may take longer to fully charge.

Date Not Changing Correctly

• Solution: Ensure the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. The date changes around midnight. If the date changes at noon, you need to advance the time by 12 hours. Refer to the "Setting the Time and Date" section.

Water Inside the Crystal

If you notice condensation or water inside the crystal, this indicates a breach in the watch's water resistance.

• Action: Immediately take the watch to an authorized Citizen service center for inspection and repair. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself.
