Citizen shop states; "At present, Citizen is the largest producer of watches and movements in the world. At present Citizen is currently most renowned for their Eco-Drive movement, which allows the watch to be powered by light as opposed to a standard battery (a solar powered watch in other words)."
This model was an attempt to enter higher-priced markets (at a cost of around $1000 USD), but the technology failed to attract consumer interest and Citizen has since stopped making use of the unique movement. No other autoquartz powered watch from Citizen is known; all other Eco-Drive models only use solar power or thermal power. [citation needed]
