SOLD
Large 41mm NIC crowns polished stainless steel and case. Mineral crystal in unmarked condition. Twin crowns. The lower crown turns the bidirectional internal bezel and the other one is connected to the movement. The case-back displays the usual information – material, date of manufacture, model, movement, and parawater.

Dial is a very dark deep black with white writing, batton style polished chrome hour markers with lume in the center. The date is on 3 o clock inside a polished frame and the day is at 9 inside an oval, carefully made window. The inner rotating bezel is also black with white writing. The hands are also polished, faceted with luminous material as well.
The movement is an automatic Citizen calibre 5270, with 21 jewels. It is a common movement used in a variety of models, not only divers making it rather easy to repair with available parts. It is reliable and offers hand winding possibility. The date changes in the second position of the winding crown (first position for winding, third for time setting) but the day changes only by passing midnight with the hands.
Bearing in mind that this was made in the early 70's it's in lovely condition apart from the one ding that can't be seen when it's being worn of course. Ready to wear at the beach or with a suit during a meeting. Understated elegance placed with practicality make this a fantastic vintage Citizen all rounder.
Time keeping is good but I don't know the service history and haven't had it pressure tested. No box or papers
Would consider any 7c43 or 7548 as a trade cash either way
