Hand Winder with Day and Date

[sweephand]

Been wearing my Citizen 'Seven' this week. It's unusual in that it has both date and day complications, typically found, in my experience, on automatic models rather than hand winders:



The day window shape is unique to this model. This is the hand winding version of the second generation 'Jet' auto - the movement number is 4000, which was first produced in 1964. The day is set by winding back and forth at 12 o'clock, whilst the quick set date is done by pulling the crown in and out, as with the Jet auto's. This example was made in 1966 and has a one piece case, indicated by the 'x' on the back:




Any other examples of hand winders with date and day?

Now that you mention it I can't recall a hand wind with a day and date.

Me either. I wonder why that would be since most of the hand wind modules are the base for the autos???

I wonder if it's as simple as auto's being more expensive so generally the day feature was reserved for them. I always though that Citizen's '7' moniker was used for watches that had auto winding as one of the seven features, so this one bucks that trend if I'm right. I'm pretty sure it's the only '7' hand winding model.
