A distinctive vintage Citizen Eagle 7 Automatic presented in an uncommon rectangular TV-style case, featuring a striking dual-tone tuxedo dial. The original dial combines a crisp white rectangular centre with a contrasting black outer section, accented by sparkling stud-style hour markers and the classic Citizen Eagle 7 emblem at 6 o’clock.
Powered by a 21-jewel Citizen automatic movement, this watch combines the character of vintage Japanese watchmaking with an unusual case and dial configuration. The watch retains its original movement, original case, original dial, and original bracelet, with the bracelet clasp being aftermarket.
Collector’s Note
Rectangular and TV-style vintage watches have a distinctive presence compared with conventional round cases, and this Eagle 7 is an especially interesting example. Its black-and-white tuxedo dial, decorative hour markers, day-date display, and compact rectangular case give it a strong late-vintage character.
The case back carries the reference 4-946065 SMK, style/catalog reference 74-9079, and serial 3060060. The serial format is consistent with June of a year ending in 3, but the exact decade cannot be conclusively established from the serial alone. We therefore avoid assigning a definitive production year.
