Solar-Powered Dress Watch

The Citizen Chandler BM6838-09X is a solar-powered quartz watch designed for men who want a formal timepiece without battery changes. Its Eco-Drive movement charges from any light source, keeping the analog display running in daily wear. The 42 mm stainless-steel case and green dial suit business and evening attire. Buyers who need a smartwatch or fitness tracking should look elsewhere.

Light Charging and Water Resistance

The solar cell absorbs ambient light to maintain power reserve, removing the need for regular crown winding or cell replacement. A mineral crystal protects the dial with luminous hands and numeral markers against knocks. Water resistance to 100 metres handles swimming and surface snorkelling, though the leather strap is not intended for prolonged immersion. The 11 mm case thickness sits flat under a shirt cuff.

42 mm Green Dial with Leather Strap

The defining specification is the 42 mm case diameter paired with a green sunburst dial and black leather strap secured by a stainless-steel buckle. Strap width measures 22 mm at the lugs for aftermarket options. This combination fixes the watch's visual presence on the wrist; anyone needing a smaller case, metal bracelet or different dial colour will need another model.

Questions about this item

How do I set the time on the Eco-Drive BM6838-09X and what step is often missed?

Pull the crown to the second click, turn until the correct time shows, then push the crown fully back in to restart the quartz movement and maintain water resistance to 100 meters.

What maintenance will the Eco-Drive BM6838-09X need over time?

The solar cell charges the power cell from any light; the cell typically lasts years. The black leather strap (22 mm width) will wear and need replacement before the movement does.

What limit appears first during prolonged daily wear of the BM6838-09X?

The mineral crystal resists scratches but can chip on hard impact, and the leather strap degrades faster than the stainless steel case or 100-meter water resistance seal.
