Citizen‘s first LCD watch

This model was released 1973 by Citizen in Japan as their first LCD watch. It had time, date, seconds and weekday features. Was very expensive back then and still works perfectly.

That weekday complication looks so cool! What a heavy piece of a watch case😍

Super nice 70s vibes 🤩🔥

I remember when my dad bought a digital watch sometime in the ‘70s. At the time it looked incredibly futuristic.

There is an NOS one on eBay right now. The price is eye watering.

wow. expensive.

i think 200-400$ is more appropriate

Awesome

That's honestly not that bad of a price for the condition it is in. It's essentially museum grade. The original price was a whole month salary for the average Japanese worker back then.

Thats as may be, but it’s way Way Way way way more than I could even imagine.

It’s probably worth more than that it is new old stock. How many new old stock ones can there be?

if one is willing to spend that amount, fine :). mine was for 60€

That I'd pay. But it was literally the only one I found on eBay. I hate when you find the watch you want and the price is insane. This one is still haunting me. But no way I can come up with $475
