Take a look at this - it explains it better than I can - http://www.europastar.com/europastar/wa ... ghtpow.jsp

The most famous watch is probably the Citizen Eco-Drive.


Yes I imagine you did :wink:

As I own a Citizen Eco Drive (Perpetual Calendar), I suspected you might have been referring to these pieces. Great watches, I've owned a couple now for at least the last 10 years without requiring a single battery change in that time. Good for a knock around watch now...

Thanks for the link, good to read the mechanism behind.

180 day running time is crazy. I have a Skyhawk A-T Ti and never knew it could keep a charge for that long.

Wow, the Citizen website says it can last up to 30 months with power save! :shock:

For mechanical watches that you have to manually wind, do those use springs too or not?
