FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A MIGHTY FINE 1963 CITIZEN YOUNG HOMER GENTS DRESS WATCH IN SUPER CLEAN CONDITION.
-
CASE: CLASSY GOLD PLAQUE CASE MEASURING A LARGE 35mm NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 42.5mm LUG TO LUG. LIKE MANY OF THE JAPANESE DRESS WATCHES OF THE ERA, THESE WERE LARGER THAN THEIR SWISS COUNTERPARTS. THIS ONE IS NO EXCEPTION, AND WEARS EVERN BIGGER THAN THE DIMENSIIONS WOULD SUGGEST DUE TO THAT THIN BEZEL AND WIDE DIAL. CASE IS IN NICE SHAPE WITH SOME MINOR THINNING IN THE GOLD AT THE LUG TIPS AND THE CASEBACK. BUT, OVERALL, THIS THING IS IN REALLY FANTASTIC SHAPE WITH THOSE LUGS MAINTAING THEIR SHARP EDGES AND THE TOP OF THE CASE LOOKING PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW.
-
DIAL: SERIOUSLY DEBONAIRE. THIS SILVERY CHAMPAGNE SUNBURST DIAL HAS A SUBTLE CONCENTRIC CIRCLE FINISH TO IT WHICH LOOKS AWESOME IN ALL LIGHTING CONDITIONS. LOOK AT THOSE LONG DAUPHINE GOLD HANDS WHICH DEMAND TO BE LOOKED AT. I LOVE THE STEPPED DIAL DESIGN AND THE WAY THOSE GOLDEN MARKERS ARE INLAID INTO THE DIAL. SIMPLE AND STRIKING. CITIZENS OF THIS ERA WITH THAT CLASSY CURSIVE FONT ARE THE BEST.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS CITIZEN IS POWERED BY A 17J IN-HOUSE MANUAL WINDER. WATCH WINDS SMOOTHLY AND KEEPS GOOD TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT IT'S BEEN RUNNING SOLIDLY MONITORED FOR WEEKS OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION.
THIS YOUNG HOMER IS MOUNTED ON A NEW OLD STOCK BLACK HIRSCH GENUINE LIZARD WHICH WAS MEANT FOR THIS DRESS WATCH . IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A DRESS WATCH WITH A TON OF CHARACTER AND PANACHE, THIS IS YOUR GUY.
