Auktion over vintage ure 

Introduktion

Denne auktion præsenterer en klassisk Citizen Leopard 28800, et vintage ur af høj kvalitet, der viser toppen af japansk mekanisk urværk fra begyndelsen af 1970'erne. 

Introduction

This auction presents a classic Citizen Leopard 28800, a high-quality vintage timepiece that showcases the pinnacle of Japanese mechanical watchmaking from the early 1970s. The "Leopard" line was Citizen's answer to the high-beat competition of the era, offering precision and reliability in an elegant package. This particular model features a sophisticated silver sunburst dial and a robust stainless steel construction, making it a perfect example of timeless design meeting technical excellence.

Historical / Era context

Manufactured during the 1970s, the Citizen Leopard was named after the animal's speed and agility, reflecting the high-frequency 28,800 beats per hour (bph) movement housed within. This high-beat movement allowed for greater accuracy and a smoother sweep of the second hand. In the competitive landscape of the time, the Leopard was positioned as a premium offering, often compared to Seiko's Lord Matic and King Seiko lines. The 52-series movement used in these watches remains a favorite among collectors for its durability and the significant role it played 
during the height of the mechanical watch era in Japan.

Condition

The watch is running properly.
Case: The stainless steel case retains its original silhouette with sharp edges, showing visible surface scratches and minor scuffs consistent with its age and history as a well-loved vintage piece.
Dial: The silver sunburst dial is in excellent condition, with applied indices and the iconic "Leopard" logo. The day-date display features both Kanji and English options, functioning as intended.
Crystal: The crystal shows some scratches and signs of wear from decades of use, but it remains clear and does not significantly distract from the dial's beauty.
Band: It comes equipped with its original Citizen stainless steel bracelet, which shows some typical "stretch" and surface marks but remains fully functional and secure.
