Movement: Automatic
Dial: Silver sunburst with applied baton indices and day-date display
Case Size: 36mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: c. 1970s
Condition: Excellent vintage condition—case remains sharp with clear brushing, dial is clean with light even patina, and the watch is running within vintage tolerances.
Dial and Hands
The silver sunburst dial is exceptionally well-kept, with vibrant texture and strong legibility. Applied baton hour markers are crisp, complemented by the original Citizen logo and the distinctive “Leopard” script above 6 o’clock. Both the indices and hands maintain well-matched lume, which has developed attractive, uniform patina. The day-date display is clear and precise, and all printings remain sharp.
Case and Crystal
The 36mm stainless steel cushion case retains its pronounced edges and alternating brushed and polished finishes, suggesting careful use and minimal wear. The acrylic crystal is clean and free of notable marks, offering unobstructed views of the dial. Case back and lugs display only light signs of age, consistent with an attentive ownership history.
Movement
The watch houses Citizen’s automatic movement, renowned for reliability and consistent performance. The mechanism winds smoothly, with all timekeeping and calendar functions operating correctly. It is running within vintage tolerances.
Strap
Paired with a black leather strap with contrasting white stitching, the watch offers a classic and comfortable fit, in keeping with its vintage roots. The strap is gently worn, soft, and ready for extended wear.
