Boosting accuracy and functionality.
Cutting energy consumption.
Achieving accuracy of ± 1 second per year and adding 20 plus functions
Our success in reducing Eco-Drive’s energy consumption also led to major advances in accurate
timekeeping.
At about ±15 seconds a month, the accuracy of our early light-powered
watches was similar to standard quartz watches.
In 2019, we released the world’s most
accurate light-powered watch* accurate to ±1 second per year.
Our earliest light-powered
models featured just three functions.Today, they can deliver on more than 20 different
functions, including altimeters, depth meters, Radio-Controlled and GPS SATELLITE
WAVE.
These functions have never been a goal in and of themselves, but rather serve our
goal to make watches everyone will enjoy and cherish for a long time.
Watch out for the
latest developments from Eco-Drive, the pioneer of sustainable timepieces.
