# Reference: **Model:** Citizen Campanola BU0020-62A Eco-Drive with Moon Phase and Triple Calendar **Year Produced:** May 2020 **Timestamp:**  [https://imgur.com/a/RF20aoT](https://imgur.com/a/RF20aoT) **Album:**  [https://imgur.com/a/Ky32ZCl](https://imgur.com/a/Ky32ZCl) # Features: **Dial.** Dial. A jet-black, hand-lacquered six o’clock subdial, speckled with crushed mother-of-pearl, designed to resemble view of a universe from the window of a spaceship. Painstakingly, every piece of mother-of-pearl is chosen and placed on the dial by hand, giving each watch a unique look. The 12 o’clock subdial features a guilloché pattern that is said to represent the “brilliance of the sun.” **Hand Crafted.** While you might assume the Mother of Pearl is scattered randomly across the Urushi lacquer dial, the reality is far more deliberate. Campanola’s watchmakers select each individual piece based on size and colour, then have the freedom to choose its placement with no specific guidance or requirements. [The dial on the left is the BU0020-62A on offer today, and the dial on the right is a previously sold BU0020-62A](https://imgur.com/a/F8KgApt). Sometimes less is more, and sometimes more is more - I’m not here to judge which is “better”, as there’s no right answer, but the difference between the two is so extreme that I felt it was interesting enough to share. **Eco-Drive.** Very few watches offer the same level of convenience and reliability as Citizen’s Eco-Drive. The six-month power reserve that can be fully charged from only 19 hours of sunlight. Previously, Eco-Drive dials had to be translucent to allow light to reach the solar capacitor beneath. As a result, the design possibilities for Eco-Drives have always been somewhat limited - until Citizen began experimenting with translucent bezels.  **Design Improvements.** As solar charging technology improved, the size of the capacitors shrank. This innovation led to the creation of Campanola Eco-Drives, featuring translucent bezels. Interestingly, these bezels look completely normal - you wouldn’t even know they are “translucent” - but their presence means Eco-Drives can now boast much more intricate designs. The BU0020-62A is a wonderful example of this.  **Layered.** Campanolas are renowned for their use of layering, often opting for a distinctly three-dimensional look, as I’ve tried to demonstrate with the photos. As much as I love their cosmological dials and features, the thing that continues to draw me into Campanolas is their three dimensional approach to design.  # Details: **Condition**: In great overall, but with hairline marks on the bezel, visible at 12 o'clock on close inspection.
