Types of Watch Movement

Mechanical Movement
Collectors prefer mechanical watches over quartz for their superior craftsmanship and intricate design. Powered by a wound spring rather than a battery, these carefully engineered timepieces require regular winding to keep accurate time.

Eco-Drive Movement
CITIZEN's Eco-Drive technology uses light–both natural and artificial–to power quartz watches without ever needing a battery replacement, charging, or winding.

Quartz Movement
Quartz movements are popular for their exceptional accuracy and low maintenance. Powered by a battery that sends electricity through a quartz crystal, they reliably drive the watch hands, requiring only occasional battery swaps.
