It's so much more than solar

Eco-Drive Logo

Light years ahead

First, we invented it. Then, we perfected it. Since 1976, Eco-Drive has been the leader in light, powering your watch round the clock by converting any light into life. From sunlight to night lights and fluorescent lamps to headlamps. Surplus energy is stored on a power cell to keep your watch running for months in complete darkness when fully powered. It’s 50 years of innovation that outshines all others.

100,000,000+ batteries saved from landfills

Eco-Drive’s light-powered technology eliminates the need
for battery replacements. By converting light into energy, each watch helps reduce waste and supports a more sustainable future. It’s a small change that makes a big impact. Since we invented light-powered technology in 1976, Eco-Drive has saved over 100 million batteries from landfills. That commitment to sustainability still drives us to this day.

The tech that makes it tick

Our award-winning Eco-Drive technology harnesses the light all around you, natural or artificial, to efficiently power your watch. Storing the excess in a power cell, your watch can run for over six months in total darkness when fully powered. Select models, with the power-save function, can last up to seven years.

Dialed into innovation

The Eco-Drive process starts with the dial, where we employ a revolutionary design which allows light to pass through, without sacrificing the refined beauty of each watch face. Style and ingenuity, working hand-in-hand.

Ready when you are

Ever put on your watch for a night out just to discover the battery’s dead? Not with Eco-Drive. Your watch can function for months when fully powered, even if you store it in a drawer and only wear it occasionally. Plus, it starts powering up as soon as it sees light. Complete your look with a watch that works.

Celebrating 50 years. Still ahead of its time.

Fifty years ago we introduced the technology behind Eco-Drive, and the rest is history. Before 1976, quartz watches required regular battery replacements. It was a hassle and incredibly wasteful. Our revolutionary design enabled watches to convert light into energy using an inbuilt power cell. We launched the Eco-Drive brand in 1996, upgrading the tech in 2000 to harness any light as an energy source. Today, Eco-Drive has grown and expanded, but the technology, and timepieces it powers, are still going strong — fifty years on.

Our proprietary Eco-Drive technology has been named a Travel + Leisure Global Vision Award winner
