Solar watches: The sun is your friend

Solar watches are the perfect combination of technology, sustainability, and convenience. A solar watch runs on light, both sunlight and artificial light, which is converted into energy by subtle solar cells under the watch face. This means you'll never have to replace a battery. As long as there's light, your solar watch will keep ticking reliably.

How does a solar watch work?

The secret of a solar watch lies in the solar cells on or under the dial. These capture light and convert it into electrical energy, which is stored in a battery. This allows your watch to run for months or even a year, even without direct light. A solar watch thus combines the accuracy of a quartz movement with the ease of use of an automatic watch.

Why choose a solar watch?

With a men's or women's solar watch, you're choosing not only style but also comfort and sustainability. No more battery replacements, less waste, and a reliable energy source wherever you are. Moreover, solar watches are known for their long lifespan, even with intensive use.
