Citizen - Parawater - 沒有保留價 - 4-180186 - 男士 - 1965

Introduction:
Presenting a deeply historic and highly collectible piece of Japanese horological history: the CITIZEN Parawater (Ref. 4-180186) from the late 1960s to early 1970s. The "Parawater" signifies Citizen's legendary milestone as the pioneer of Japan's first fully water-resistant wristwatches. This antique manual-wind timepiece features a classic round stainless steel case that houses a striking silver dial with a subtle sunburst finish. It is accented by raised silver/black stick indices, matching hands, and a practical date window at 3 o'clock. A wonderful example of mid-century Japanese engineering and minimalist design, perfect for vintage watch purists and JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) collectors.

Condition Report:

Status: [ Working ] (Mechanical Hand-Winding / No Battery Needed)

Cosmetic: Rated as Condition B (Good / Standard Vintage Condition). The watch exhibits a beautiful, authentic vintage character. The stainless steel case and acrylic crystal show honest hairline scratches and minor scuffs from previous ownership, maintaining its original unpolished look. The silver sunburst dial has aged gracefully, developing a light, warm vintage patina that enhances its antique charm.

Technical Note: Powered by a traditional Japanese mechanical manual-wind movement. It winds smoothly and is fully operational, keeping reliable vintage time. (As with all antique mechanical timepieces, periodic manual winding is required, and accuracy may naturally vary slightly compared to modern quartz models).
