Great looking watch - my gut tells me this is earlier than the 80s. More likely early 70s. Can you post a picture of the case back in case that gives any clues?

Iโ€™m not an expert but there are those who can date Citizens from the case back numbers.

Okay so all credit to sweep-hand.org (link below) who provides amazing info on Citizens.

Per his site the case back indicates model 63-4018 which was introduced in the late 1960s and the first three digits of the serial number (007) indicate July 1970; all assuming thatโ€™s the original caseback, which seems reasonable given the condition of the watch.

So thatโ€™s my inexpert best slightly educated guess but certainly matches my original gut feeling.

V nice - enjoy!
