Citizen Eco-Drive Super Chronograph 1000
In autumn 2008 Citizen launches an Eco-Drive chronograph watch that can measure time to 1/1000 sec.
As well as split time, lap time and speed, the watch also displays average speed if the distance to be covered is input in advance.
When chronograph operations commence, small hands on the dial begin to rotate rapidly, while the same information is also displayed digitally. Together, the action of the hands and the digital display generate a feeling of speed and excitement.
There is also a lap memo function for checking previous results, and the watch can recall best lap, average lap and lap speed of each.
With its hinged function buttons, the watch offers stable operation and highly distinctive styling, while the rubber edge on the left side of the case makes it easier to grip when performing chronograph functions. The design of the dial is based on the cockpit of a racing car. Add a slide rule bezel and a dial that suggests a measuring gauge providing numerous calculation possibilities for motor and sky sports, and this is clearly a watch designed for the sports-minded. An ultra-light TI.C.C. titanium case with corresponding metal bracelet is protecting this concentrated technique..
The Super Chronograph 1000 is equipped with the environmental-friendly Eco-Drive technology and has a power reserve of about 7 years. Other features include world-time of 43 cities in 29 time zones, non-reflecting sapphire glass, calendar, alarm, LED light and a water resistance of 20 bar.
The recommended retail price for this extraordinary watch is 795,00 Euro. (Citizen press)
