Eco-Drive Tosa Washi White

As a brand that concentrates almost totally on quartz movements, Citizen has developed and refined its proprietary Eco-Drive technology to produce stunning timepieces that continue to defy the perimeters of watchmaking. With the Japanese typically keeping the best of their products for themselves, today’s The Citizen Eco Drive 40 Tosa Washi White AQ4091-56A is one of Citizen’s best offerings originally intended for the Japanese domestic market (JDM). However, as we are introducing it on the international market, this watch is an uncovered treasure piece for the ardent watch collector.

One of the world’s trailblazing manufacturers of movements and watches for over a century, Citizen is a highly esteemed Japanese watch brand that boasts a rich pedigree of traditional watchmaking, state-of-the-art horological innovations and excellent craftsmanship. Citizen made the world’s inaugural light-powered analogue quartz watch that captures light and converts it with an inbuilt solar cell in 1976. This groundbreaking invention, otherwise called the “Eco-Drive”, entrenched Citizen as an innovative watchmaker and marked a major milestone for the brand.

Watch aficionados would revel in the fact that Citizen’s ‘The Citizen’ collection belongs to an exclusive segment of the brand that provides painstakingly refined case finishes and premium performances that can arguably compete with the likes of the Grand Seiko.
