ORIGINAL 1970S RETRO WATCH

CITIZEN COSMOTRON ELECTRONIC WATCH  REF N093

A technological marvel . Circa 1972. Not to be confused with quartz watch because there is no quartz crystal in here. Inside you will find an electro-magnet and transistorised circuit board to swing the balance

wheel and from there on is just like a mechanical watch but with just a different power source. The movement is cal 7801A and has a couple of special features that make it stand out. It has a button at 8 o clock position that zeros the second hand and maybe used by the like of a doctor for taking a pulse or for general timing. The watch is in nice used condition. The dial is in silver and furnished with chrome batons and hands with day/date window at 3. The dial is immaculate with no patina or unwanted marks and the mineral crystal is scratch free. It has a large square shape case all hewed from stainless steel and apart from some light nicks or scratches from general use it is good order . Comes on its original solid link bracelet, which is complete with signed buckle and allows it to fit a 7" wrist. I have buckle extensions, which will allow an extra inch on top of this to fit up to 8" wrist . Running well and holding time . Rare, handsome, collectible and at this price is an investment.
