Citizen Auto Dater SM 17, a stainless steel automatic wristwatch from 1966 with a black dial, 17 jewels and a case size of about 38 mm.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
1960s, the era when Japanese watchmaking leaped onto the world stage, felt on the wrist with this piece.
Product Description
This is the CITIZEN Auto Dater SM 17, manufactured in 1966.
Produced during Japan's high-growth period, it's one of Citizen's representative vintage automatic models.
With a deep-black dial and a luxurious fluted bezel, its classic and refined design remains timeless to this day.
This model is a JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) model, so overseas distribution is limited, and it is popular among overseas collectors seeking Japanese-made vintage watches.
The appeal of a mechanical movement—the smooth motion of the second hand and an automatic winding that does not require a battery—offers allure that modern quartz watches cannot match.
Although roughly 60 years old, it is currently functioning normally, allowing you to enjoy the history unique to a vintage watch.

This watch’s value
The 1960s was an era when Japanese watchmakers rapidly advanced technology to rival Swiss manufacturers in quality.
The Citizen Auto Dater SM 17 is one of the mechanical models that symbolize that era and a vintage watch that lets you feel Citizen’s high level of craftsmanship.
In particular, its highly popular black dial, luxurious fluted bezel, and a 38mm case that remains easy to wear today make it both collectible and practical.
Furthermore, because it was sold only in Japan (JDM), it is rare in overseas markets and highly regarded by collectors of Japanese-made vintage watches.
A timepiece that has continued to run for nearly 60 years is not merely a watch but a precious chronometer that conveys the history of Japanese manufacturing to the present.
