Rarity & Collectability:

Citizen produced this watch in very limited quantities for the Japanese domestic market.
Models with 23-jewel movements and factory-stamped Citizen coin dials are the most sought-after and seldom appear outside Japan.
A historically important piece combining horology, numismatics, and Japanese railway heritage.
