Product Information
Full details
This Citizen Eco-Drive watch from the MARVEL Classic Avengers collection is designed for fans who want to embody the spirit of Black Panther. Its key benefit is the reliable, maintenance-free Eco-Drive technology coupled with durable Super Titanium™ construction. A potential caveat is that the design, while inspired by Black Panther, might be too subtle for those seeking overt character branding. This watch features a silver-tone Super Titanium™ case, a grey resin bezel, and a black 3-hand dial with a date window, all protected by a sapphire crystal. It showcases the Wakanda battle mask subtly under luminous hands and markers, powered by light and water-resistant up to 100M.

How do I maintain the charge of the Eco-Drive movement?
Simply wear the watch regularly or place it in a well-lit environment. Avoid storing it in dark places for extended periods.

Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running.
Expose the watch to a light source for at least 24-48 hours to fully recharge the Eco-Drive battery. If the issue persists, it may require servicing.
Date is not changing correctly.
Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position for setting the date and that it is pushed fully back in. Consult the user manual for precise instructions on date setting.
Luminosity is fading quickly.
The luminous hands and markers need to be 'charged' by light. Expose the watch to a strong light source for a few minutes. Luminosity naturally fades over time; this is normal.
Scratches on the bezel.
While the case is Super Titanium™, the resin bezel may be more susceptible to surface scratches. These are cosmetic and do not affect performance. Minor scuffs can sometimes be polished out with specialized resin polish, but care must be taken.

Care:

- Crystal Care: While sapphire is highly scratch-resistant, avoid sharp impacts that could potentially chip or crack the crystal.
