Description:
CITIZEN in Japan was very involved in the design and production of the electric wristwatch. As early as 1966, the first, still based on the ATO patent, was presented in Japan. Our model is already ready for series production and came onto the market in 1975, even before the large market launch of the quartz-powered wristwatch. The watch is in good condition and all functions are in place. The movement stops when the crown is pulled, turning the crown adjusts the date.
