The company was established in 1924. The founding fathers selected the name Citizen so it would be "Close to the Hearts of People Everywhere" and soon after adopted the company’s formal name, Citizen Watch Company. During the last seventy-five years Citizen has expanded its business throughout the world and has achieved recognition as the global brand. The past twenty-five year period has coincided with the company’s dramatic rise to its current position as the world’s largest watchmaker, a distinction Citizen has held every year since 1986. Beyond sheer size, Citizen is also recognized as a worldwide leader in advanced technology. From the world’s slimmest LCD watch to the first voice recognition watch and the world’s first professional dive watch with an electronic depth sensor, Citizen’s record of "world’s firsts" is unmatched. More recently, Citizen has staked out a new position as the leader in Ecologically Friendly timekeeping with its Eco-Drives watches that are light powered. With models ranging from dress models to sports models to professional dive watches, Citizen Eco-Drive runs continuously in any kind of natural or artificial light for a lifetime of use. Fueled by light, it never needs a battery. A serious timepiece for the serious watch collector, the Citizen BJ7000-52E stainless steel men's watch offers powerful timekeeping functions for your favorite aeronaut. The large round watch case measures approximately 43mm in diameter. It has a thin silver bezel the houses a black dial with a pilot's inner rotating slide rule bezel, which is operated by the secondary crown at 8 o'clock. It has large luminous hands and markers for readability and low-light visibility and dual time (GMT) capability. The triple link bracelet band is composed of brushed silver stainless steel pieces, and it's joined by a push-button folding safety clasp. Other features include a water resistance to 660 feet (200 meters), low-charge indicator window, power saver function, and a scratch-resistant, non-reflective mineral crystal.

2010-07-22 By MacMaster (Washington, DC) I have tissots and tag heurs but this watch as good as a swiss watch. I like the eco drive its so neat. You can find it cheaper on other websites but don't know about their warranties
2010-07-10 By M. Warner A great watch for under $300. The fact that once you charge this watch you won't have to ever worry about it again. It can sit for months without being worn and it still retains time and charge. Just 15 min of wear in bright sunlight will bring the watch to full charge allowing it to sit in the dark for months... Unlike other auto-wind watches that I have which only last for a day or two without wearing them and having to reset the time. Never have to worry about this one. Great solar technology!
2010-05-17 By Anderson M. Bowes Excellent watch! Already taken a beating and I've had it for only two months, built very well.
2010-05-07 By Ron Gonzalez (Boston) I purchased this watch July of 2006 and it is still going strong. I have not had a single problem with this watch. Aside from some very minor scratches on the crystal (my fault) This watch is of excellent quality. Keeps time accurately even though it is not atomically controlled and does not have a perpetual Calendar. I am probably going to upgrade to the SkyHawk AT since it has both atomic control, a perpetual calendar, a 99 minute timer, is composed of a lighter weight titanium, and last but not least is about 3x more expensive than this beauty.
2010-04-29 By M. S. Alnwaisser Nice watch but it's a bit too big, The display only gives you the date in numbers, does not display the day or the abbreviation for week days. Citizen Men's BJ7000-52E Eco-Drive Nighthawk Stainless Steel Watch
