Unlike standard automatics, the Jet series utilizes a peripheral ring-shaped rotor that rotates around the outside of the movement. When you move the watch, it produces a unique "whirring" sound—often compared to a jet engine—which gave the line its name. Key Features: * The Movement: Powered by a Citizen 0321/1130 caliber with 17 or 19 jewels. This is a "No-Date" version, which collectors prefer for its clean, symmetrical aesthetic. Note that the Rookie was designed without a manual winding function to keep the profile slim; it relies entirely on the high-efficiency Jet rotor. * The Dial: A stunning sunburst silver dial in excellent condition. It features the iconic "Jet" script and applied baton indices that catch the light beautifully. * The Case: Bold 1960s geometry. The recessed crown gives the watch a sleek, "UFO-like" profile when viewed from the front, emphasizing the automatic nature of the piece. * Crystal: High-domed acrylic (Plexiglass), typical of the era, which adds a warm vintage distortion to the dial. Condition Report: This timepiece is in Excellent vintage condition. * Case: Sharp edges. No deep gouges or significant wear to the lugs. * Dial/Hands: Remarkable preservation. No visible patina or spotting. * Performance: The Jet rotor spins freely and engages the winding mechanism perfectly. It keeps good vintage time.
