Citizen Reguno - a JDM time machine?
Does anyone have experience with their solar-tech calibres? I hear these were the predecessors to the Eco-Drive line.
I bought a Reguno RS25-0051B from Sakura Watches last and received it yesterday. It's not to bad for a sub $100 solar powered watch. But I'd like to know more about the brand itself and anyone's experience with their solar powered watches.
From Sakura's shelf Reguno's line up send more a bit like the 90s menu of wristwatches. The case also feels a little lighter than usual stainless steel so I wonder if it's 304 instead of 316L. I just hope it's not some brass or tin alloy coated in chrome.
A wristwatch is an instrument of utility, a piece of jewelry, an accessory of elegance, a gadget of tireless endurance and an engrossing hobby all in one.
I have a Citizen solar tech that I bought in the mid 90's and it hasn't missed a beat. Not sure if the Reguno uses the same movement or just the same description of solar tech. On the Citizen caseback it does say eco-drive.
I once have reguno, the movement is H415 the same as citizen used in their watches. I think it's just marketing.
