You should immediately pull out the crown (winding knob) and stop the Eco-Drive watch. This will protect it until you can get it repaired. If the watch movement keeps trying to turn the hands and can’t, it could damage the mechanism.

One of the hands has come off the subdial of my Citizen Eco-Drive watch. It is caught between the hour and the minute hand stopping the watch. What should I do?
Thursday, January 14th, 2010I have broken the winding post and knob off my Eco-Drive watch, it still runs so I keep wearing it.
Thursday, January 14th, 2010The winding knob (the crown) has a gasket inside that fits snugly over the post (the stem) and creates a water resistant seal to prevent dust and water from entering the Eco-Drive watch. It takes very little water inside a watch to rust and damage the movement (watch mechanism). We recommend you have the stem and crown for your Eco-Drive watch replaced as soon as possible.
