There’s few things that project an air of confidence and professionalism like a well-appointed watch. Whether attending a lunch date or afternoon interview, the right timepiece can effortlessly pull your entire look together. If you’re in the market for something sleek and tech savvy, the Drive from Citizen CTO watch may be just the one to complete your signature swagger.
With a modern, classically designed case and bracelet in stainless steel, dark grey dial and grey accents, the CTO is deceptively simple. Batteries are not included because batteries are not necessary. The watch is powered by Eco-Drive technology, which means they are powered by light of any kind, natural or otherwise, allowing for ostensibly endless, uninterrupted use.
Shiny but sophisticated, this easy-to-wear timepiece can roll with you from the dorm room to the board room without much fuss, pairing well with stylish staples from across the fashion spectrum. We appreciate it partnered with casual, contemporary pieces that have a bit of edge but are also business friendly. For a bit of flair, mix in blue and black pieces for an unexpected approach to work wear.
DRIVE from Citizen, CTO (Model BM6991-52H)
Save time and be on it with a watch that never needs a new battery. The CTO Drive by Citizen is forever charged by natural or artificial light.
