ORIGINAL 1970S RETRO WATCH

CITIZEN AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH REF  MA09222

This is an awesome gents chrono from citizen and in fabulous used condition . These are fast becoming scarce watches and in this nice condition are seldom seen . It is one of citizens more rarer models . The dial is very handsome in blue with chrome batons and set off very well with white hands for normal time and orange chron function hands . It sports two sub dials with the top one registering elapsed hours and the bottom one showing elapsed minutes . Its crown is used to quick set the date by pulling out to the first click and rotating . Also at the first click the bottom chrono button is pressed to quick set the day . The dial is excellent condition with no patina or fading at all . Its crystal is hardlex and scratch free . The chunky case may have been refinished as it is mint with not a single scratch or mark at all . Features brushed finish with polished sides . Comes fitted on a fabulous matching , padded strap . The movement is running smoothly and holding time well , with the chronograph function returning back to zero just as it should . My first passion was for Japanese watches and find the quality of them is as good as any Swiss time piece and there longevity is second to non . This has got to be one of the nicest model citizens made and certainly a quality watch . It screams 1970s and has a fabulous auto chrono movement but you would have to be a wealthy man back then to buy one .
