Citizen Eco-Drive Satellite Wave

For 2011, Citizen introduces Eco-Drive Satellite Wave, a limited edition watch with a totally new timekeeping system.

This next-generation timepiece searches for the closest of the 24 navigation satellites that orbit the earth.

It captures the day, date and time signals the satellite emits from space, 20,000 kilometers above the earth.

Since the satellite signals are controlled by atomic clocks, this watch’s timekeeping is ultra precise.

Each of the 24 navigation satellites orbits the earth once every twelve hours, so that this watch receives the signals from any open space, even in the boundless Western Pacific or atop the world’s highest peak — via Citizen
