Thanks. Got it for 27 USD used, the case was in very good condition for its age, crysral had many scratches but the movement was running. At first I couldn't believe that the seller was asking very little for it. I guess he didn't know what he had. As for the movement, it is a hybrid. Citizen claims that it is "the world’s first genuine electronic wristwatch that has adopted a moving-magnet type balance motor, driven by transistor on the regulating device." Basically it's a mechanical watch powered by a battery instead of a main spring. Sadly this technology was one of the casualties of the quartz revolution.
Thank you Sir. 🤝
This is a very interesting backstory.
I didn't know these details at all.
So at the end you've got an awesome, running, vintage timepiece for just 27 USD. And an amazing conversation starter.
You have it all. 🤜🤛
Enjoy 🔥
