Citizen eco drive Mickey Mouse watches are keepsake wristwatches that are as popular as men’s and ladies’ watches as they are for children. Both Citizen with its eco drive and Mickey Mouse watches have a long history and sterling reputations.

The Citizen Watch Company began in Tokyo in 1918 as the Shokosha Watch Research Institute. Its name was changed to Citizen Watch Company in 1930. Mickey Mouse watches became part of its standard repertoire some time in the 1960’s and the eco-drive that Citizens made famous was introduced in April of 1966. Citizen eco-drive wrist watches require no battery and are simply powered by light, and thus ecologically friendly.

Though discontinued, Citizen eco drive Mickey Mouse watches, whether men’s or ladies, are keepsakes and collector’s items and as such are available online.

At one wristwatch collectors auction site you can, for example, buy a men’s Citizen Mickey Mouse watch with brown leather strap for under $80. This men’s watch has a stainless steel watch case with gold tone, a polished finish, a white watch dial with Mickey Mouse design, hands and hour markers that are gold toned, the date displayed at three o’clock, a Tang wrist watch clasp, Japanese quartz movement, and of course, the advantageous Citizen eco-drive that keeps your watch running without any battery. This watch is water resistant.

For the ladies this same site offers a gold tone watch for about $100. Its bracelet and case are both gold tones, its finish nicely polished and the watch has Japanese quartz movement.
