Citizen was founded in Tokyo in 1918 and built one of the most extensive watchmaking operations in the world, producing movements, cases and components largely in-house across its own facilities. The brand's defining technical achievement is Eco-Drive, introduced in 1976, a light-powered movement that eliminates the need for battery replacement by converting any light source into stored energy, a solution that predates most environmental positioning by decades and remains unmatched in scale by any competitor. Citizen also holds the world record for the most accurate watch ever produced, the Caliber 0100, accurate to within one second per year, a precision achievement that places the brand firmly among the most technically capable watchmakers in the world regardless of price point.
At WATCHOYSTER, we carry a selection of certified pre-owned Citizen watches inspected in Switzerland. Every piece has been physically examined by our in-house certified watchmaker, verified against The Watch Register, and documented before listing. What you see reflects the actual condition of the watch, with no exceptions.
Citizen's technical depth is often underappreciated relative to its retail positioning, which means genuinely advanced Eco-Drive and Promaster references trade at prices well below their actual engineering significance. The pre-owned market is where discontinued Promaster dive references and earlier Eco-Drive calibres most consistently surface, often in excellent working condition given the technology's inherent longevity. Buying a certified second-hand Citizen from a verified dealer in Switzerland means every piece has been assessed for movement accuracy, case condition, and light-charging function before listing. Our 12-month warranty applies to every watch in our catalogue, and our 14-day return policy covers any case where the watch does not correspond to its description.
All Citizen watches in our catalogue are available for immediate purchase with worldwide insured delivery. Standard delivery across Switzerland takes 2 to 3 business days. For clients who prefer to inspect the watch in person before completing the purchase, our appointment-only lounge in the Geneva Free Zone is available by prior arrangement.
Financing is available on selected pre-owned Citizen references for clients based in Switzerland, with terms from 3 to 24 months, no interest and no administrative fees. The full purchase price is divided into equal monthly instalments, with a minimum first payment of 25%. A decision takes under three minutes at checkout, with no documentation required beyond standard order information.
