Mini Story or Hook:

A classic vintage Citizen quartz dress watch from the early quartz era, featuring the distinctive CQ emblem at 6 o’clock and an attractive rounded cushion or “TV” shaped case.

The warm champagne dial is complemented by applied gold-tone baton markers, slim hands and a framed date window at 3 o’clock, giving the watch a refined late-1970s / early-1980s appearance.

Citizen was one of the major Japanese manufacturers at the forefront of quartz watch development, and these early CQ-marked examples are becoming increasingly appealing to collectors of vintage Japanese watches.
