Citizen Eco-Drive E111

A little while ago, I blogged about a watch by Kansai Yamamoto which used a Citizen Eco-Drive module.

This watch is one of the Citizen Eco-Drive models with the same E111 module. The watch is a classic looking design with a 3 hand dial. The only numbers on the display are the 12 and 6, with markers for the hours, and small minute markers. It also has a date window at the 3 o'clock position. These Eco-Drive watches use the Citizen Solar Tech technology and has the solar panel hidden into the face.

The case is designed with the first part making the shape of the strap being part of the case with a matching gold and silver Citizen branded strap.

It has a full model number of E111-S027179. Looking at the serial number, it looks like this was from around 2008 and was sold for around ¥11,000. Searching with this model number only yields Japanese results, making me think this is Ear East model only. Reading some of these links, it looks like it is part of a Citizen Forma range, and may have a catalogue number of FRA59-2203.
