# Reference: **Model:** Campanola BU0020-71E Eco-Drive with Moon Phase and Triple Calendar **Year:** February 2017 **Album:** [https://imgur.com/a/xQvljay](https://imgur.com/a/xQvljay) **Timestamp:** [https://imgur.com/a/z17fcmi](https://imgur.com/a/z17fcmi) # Features: **Brand.** The BU0020-71E is part of Campanola’s current collection. Currently available to buy new for ¥363,000 yen (\~$2,500), these celestial offerings from Citizen continue to be great value propositions on the secondary Western market for anyone brave enough to try a slightly unusual Japanese design. **Value.** Much like the golden Tenmanboshi, this watch is part of Campanola’s “Heaven Filled with Stars” collection. However, instead of gold leaf, the stars scattered across its urushi lacquer subdial are crafted from crushed Mother of Pearl. It’s an intriguing design choice, made even more punchy by the watch’s deep, blacked-out aesthetic. **The Details.** One of the subtle yet significant changes between past and present Eco-Drive Campanolas is the moon phase indicator. The moon now features eight layers of paint, giving its craters a rich, three-dimensional depth. The extra steps taken to create subtle details like that demonstrate a high level of craftsmanship and diligence indicative of the project as a whole. **Layered.** Campanolas, Citizen’s equivalent of Seiko’s “Grand Seiko”, are renowned for their use of layering, often opting for a distinctly three-dimensional look, as I’ve tried to demonstrate with the photos this watch. As much as I love their cosmological dials and features, the thing that continues to draw me into Campanolas is their stacked approach to design.  **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 charged from only 19 hours of sunlight. However, there has always been one downside - the dials must have a translucent surface 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. As solar charging technology improved, the size of the capacitors shrank, meaning Eco-Drives only required the outer edge of the watch face for the charging element. This innovation led to the creation of Campanola Eco-Drives. These solar-charging bezels look completely normal - you wouldn’t even know they are translucent - but their presence means Eco-Drives can now boast much fancier designs. # Details: **Condition:** In very good condition overall.
