Introducing the Citizen "Crystal Seven" from 1976 .
Named "Citizen" with the hope that the company would be loved by citizens, Citizen is a manufacturer that has consistently and passionately pursued technology since its predecessor, the Shokosha Watch Manufacturing Co., Ltd., was founded in 1892 to the present day.
The company has led the Japanese watch industry by developing a series of watches that proactively incorporate cutting-edge technology, such as the "Parashock," the first domestically made watch to feature an earthquake-resistant device, and the "Parawater," the first domestically made automatic, completely waterproof watch.
Its technological capabilities are recognized worldwide, and Citizen is now a brand trusted by citizens around the world.
The Crystal Seven is an automatic winding model released by Citizen in the 1960s .
This model is an ambitious work that bears its name, using a crystal glass windshield, which was an advanced material at the time.
The most attractive feature of this model is its unique brown dial.
The warm reddish color and matte finish give it a soft, vintage look.
The three-dimensional bar indexes and sharp dolphin hands ensure excellent visibility while giving the overall design a vintage, heavy feel.
The distinctive day of the week display is located at the 12 o'clock position, and the crown and 23 jewels emblem are located at the 6 o'clock position in a balanced manner, demonstrating Citizen's technological capabilities and design.
The case has a strong, edgy tonneau shape.
The sharp design of the lugs gives the overall impression of modernity and refinement.
The use of a combination of polished and satin finishes further enhances the three-dimensional look of the case.
The "Crystal Seven" embodies the decorative beauty typical of Japanese-made watches of the time.
The movement is equipped with a 23- jewel automatic winding Cal. 5203.
This is one of the most representative movements of the 1970s , and was installed in Citizen's automatic models.
It is highly productive and practical, and has performance suitable for everyday use.
The date can be changed by operating the crown, making it easy to use even for those purchasing a vintage watch for the first time.
Size: height: 43.9mm , width: 38.5mm , thickness: 9.5mm , weight: 53g .
The simple and practical design makes this a versatile piece that can be worn both on and off the job.
It can be paired with a neat jacket and slacks, or even with denim or chinos, and it will add a classic accent to any casual look.
The condition of the case is good, with some small scratches from use, but no major scratches or noticeable damage.
The dial is in excellent condition with excellent visibility and no stains or damage.
The movement is running smoothly and there are no issues.

All watches sold in our store are internally inspected by a professional watch mechanic upon arrival and are only sold after being determined to be genuine, so you can use them with confidence.
When you purchase a watch, we will attach a new leather strap to it when you deliver it to you.

A special case for the watch will also be included with the shipment.
Please be sure to read the following information after purchasing an antique watch.
When selling antique watches at RESUME, we do not immediately hand them over to you when you place your order. Instead, we ask a professional craftsman to overhaul them (hereafter referred to as OH) and deliver them to you after the OH is completed. (This takes about 1 to 2 months.)
A professional craftsman with first-class watch repair technician qualifications will completely disassemble your watch, replace worn parts such as the internal gaskets, clean it, oil it, and perform a thorough overhaul, maintaining it to a daily accuracy of about ±1 minute.
When we deliver the machine, we will also send you our own overhaul certificate, which shows what kind of overhaul was performed, as well as photos of the machine being disassembled and maintained.
Of course, due to the nature of the product itself being a second-hand item, there is no guarantee that it will never break, but we ask for your understanding that we take this approach so that you can enjoy the original performance of the watch and use it with peace of mind in the future.
When you purchase a product, we offer a one-year warranty depending on the model. Even if the warranty period has expired, we will still repair the product for a fee. If there is no repair shop near you, please feel free to contact us.
