UP ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK IS A SLICK 1971 CITIZEN LEOPARD HI-BEAT HACKING AUTOMATIC WITH KANJI WHEEL.
-
CASE: ANGULAR ALL STEEL CASE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THIS BEAUTY MEASURES A NICE 37mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CITIZEN SIGNED CROWN. THIS CASE IS IN SHARP AND UNPOLISHED ORIGINAL CONDITION MAINTAINING ALL ITS CRISP LINES. I LOVE THE SHARP ANGLED LUGS AND THE BRUSHING BETWEEN THE LUGS ON THE BEZEL. REALLY FEELS NICE AND SOLID ON THE WRIST.
-
DIAL: WHAT A DAZZLER. CHECK OUT THAT BRILLIANT SHAPE-SHIFTING GREEN DIAL WHICH PERFORMS AMAZING OPTICAL ILLUSIONS AS THE LIGHT HITS IT.IT HAS A SUBTLE PATTERN ETCHED INTO THE DIAL WHICH MAKES IT LOOK LIKE ITS BENDING THE SPACE/TIME CONTINUUM. THOSE HEAVY DUTY FACETED GOLD MARKERS ADD SOME COOL DEPTH TO THE DIAL. AND THAT SLINKY LEOPARD INSIGNIA WILL MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE AN APEX PREDATOR. THE KANJI DAY WHEEL IS A NICE TOUCH.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS CITIZEN IS POWERED BY A 24 JEWEL HI-BEAT 28800 HACKING AUTOMATIC IN-HOUSE MOVEMENT. THE QUICKSET FUNCTION ON THIS ONE IS VERY INTERESTING. YOU PUSH IN ON THE CROWN TO OPERATE. WHEN THE 12 MARKER IS FACING UP, YOU PRESS THE CROWN TO ADVANCE THE DATE. WHEN THE 6 IS FACING UP, PUSH IT AGAIN, AND IT WILL FLIP THE DAY. THIS ONE WAS SERVICED BACK IN MARCH AND IS KEEPING TIME AND RUNNING SMOOTHLY.
THIS SUAVE KILLER COMES MOUNTED ON A HANDMADE BROWN STITCHLESS SUEDE STRAP IN 18mm WHICH MATES NICELY WITH THE COLOR SCHEME ON THIS GUY. THIS CITIZEN LEOPARD HAS A TON OF STYLE WITH THAT SHARP CASE, EXOTIC GREEN DIAL, AND THAT INNOVATIVE HI-BEAT AUTOMATIC TICKING INSIDE. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL AND SUPER WELL ENGINEERED BADASS FROM THE EARLY 70s
