Powered by Citizen Eco-Drive Technology

One of the biggest advantages of the Citizen BU3011-83L is its Eco-Drive Caliber 8730 movement.

Unlike conventional quartz watches, Eco-Drive technology converts light—both natural and artificial—into energy, storing it in a rechargeable power cell. This eliminates the need for routine battery replacements while providing exceptional accuracy and reliability.

Benefits of Eco-Drive include:

• No battery changes required
• Excellent quartz accuracy
• Environmentally friendly operation
• Long power reserve
• Low maintenance ownership

For watch enthusiasts seeking convenience without compromising performance, Eco-Drive remains one of the industry's leading technologies.

The combination of brushed and polished finishes creates visual depth while maintaining a premium feel. The fold-over clasp with push-button release offers secure fastening and comfortable daily wear.

Despite its feature-rich design, the watch maintains a balanced profile that feels substantial without becoming overly heavy.

Built for Daily Reliability

Citizen is known for producing dependable timepieces, and the BU3011-83L continues that tradition.
