A vibrant and charismatic vintage Citizen automatic timepiece featuring a rich yellow sunburst dial that catches the light with a distinctive radiant finish. The striking dial is highlighted by applied gold-toned baton hour markers, matching gold-toned hands, a practical bilingual day-date display at the 3 o’clock position, and the iconic Citizen eagle emblem positioned above the 21 JEWELS marking.
The dial is cleanly signed CITIZEN AUTOMATIC, along with specific production references along the lower edge. Powered by a dependable automatic mechanical movement, this timepiece combines traditional mechanical watchmaking with a distinctive retro sports-dress aesthetic.
