Regular price $0.69 Sale

FOR SALE IS A GROOVY AND EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE 1974 JDM CITIZEN ADOREX HI-BEAT AUTOMATIC WITH PSYCHEDELIC FISH-SCALE GRADIENT BLUE DIAL.

 

  • CASE: TIDY ALL-STEEL CASE MEASURING 34.5mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN BY 40mm LUG TO LUG.  COOL UNPOLISHED FACETED DESIGN WHICH SITS COMFORTABLY ON THE WRIST.  CHECK OUT THE JAPANESE PRESENTATION CASEBACK!

 

  • DIAL: THIS DIAL REALLY SELLS THIS WATCH. POSSIBLY ONE OF THE COOLEST FINISHES I'VE SEEN ON A VINTAGE CITIZEN. YOU REALLY HAVE TO SEE THIS ONE IN ACTION IN THE SUNLIGHT TO APPRECIATE THE DEPTH OF DETAIL. THE FISH-SCALE DIAL HAS A SPARKLING TEXTURED APPEARANCE WITH A LIGHTER BLUE CENTER RADIATING TO DARKER ON THE PERIPHERY. THE THIN APPLIED MARKERS AND STEEL STICK HANDS GIVE A SENSE OF MINIMALISM AND LET THAT ORNATE BACKGROUND DO ALL THE TALKING. THE KANJI DAY WHEEL IS A NICE TOUCH.

 

  • MOVEMENT: THIS CITIZEN RUNS ON THE HIGH-GRADE 8050 HI-BEAT 28800 AUTOMATIC WITH HACKING AND QUICKSET DAY/DATE. REALLY STRONG RUNNER WHICH BOTH AUTOWINDS AND HANDWINDS SMOOTHLY. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT THIS ONE RUNS LIKE AN ABSOLUTE CHAMP.

 

  • WATCH IS MOUNTED ON THE ORIGINAL MULTI-LINK CITIZEN SIGNED BRACELET WHICH COULD EASILY ACCOMMODATE UP TO AN 8" WRIST WITH THE CLASP EXTENDER.  THIS IS JAPANESE 70s WEIRDNESS AT ITS FINEST. THIS IS AN ELEGANT EVERYDAY PIECE WHICH IS SUCH A BEAUTY TO BEHOLD
