NOS Citizen Automatic “Fumé Sunburst Dial” 21 Jewels (Not Used)

A beautifully preserved example of 1970s Japanese watch design, this vintage Citizen automatic showcases a striking fumé sunburst dial housed inside a bold tonneau-style stainless steel case. The gradual transition from metallic grey-brown tones into a deep charcoal perimeter gives the watch a distinctly retro character, while the integrated case architecture and polished indices reflect the refined styling language of the era. Preserved in NOS condition, this piece offers exceptional vintage appeal for collectors of classic Japanese automatics.
