Offered is a Citizen Homer Date “Parashock” in gold plate, featuring a richly patinated “starburst” dial—a true standout among vintage Japanese timepieces. This model embodies the technical advancements of early 1960s Citizen, with shock-resistant Parashock movement, crisp dauphine hands, and strong gold accents. The distinctive patina across the dial makes this example particularly unique, setting it apart as a collector’s piece with authentic character. This watch, bearing serial number 20093863, was produced in February 1962.

Dial and Hands  
The dial exhibits a dramatic sunburst patina in shades of gold and brown, with original gilt applied indices and dauphine hands. The Citizen Homer script and Parashock text remain clearly visible. The date aperture at 3 o’clock is well-framed and functional. Patina is evenly distributed, giving the watch exceptional character.

The gold-plated 36mm case retains its strong original shape with sharp lugs. Minor wear consistent with age is present but plating remains largely intact. The domed acrylic crystal is free from major scratches, offering a clear view of the dial’s patina.

This example embodies the durable, everyday elegance that defined Citizen’s output during this era.
