![]() It is a hand winding movement (soon after this most of the watches were automatics) and runs at 18.000 bph while having a nice power reserve of about 53 hours. ![]() The finishing is great too and even today I find it very pleasing to look at. ![]() The very large balance wheel and the fine adjustments along with the carefully designed and constructed movement proved it to be the best movement Citizen had at the time. Being a Chronometer means it has a very high accuracy level, ranging from -1 to +10 s / day. This model was launched in November 1962 and was produced for about 4-5 years. Others say it was made to demonstrate a point, that Citizen is capable of great things, so they constructed this awesome time piece, the best one! And it stands its grounds up to this day as both vintage and modern, classy and elegant, powerful watch no matter the reason it was made for in the first place. Some say it was born as an answer to Seiko’s Grand Seiko line. ![]() Mine is gold filled, as obviously seen in the pictures. They were made in stainless steel and gold filled cases (also solid gold). One of the most beautiful vintage Citizen watches ever made is this one, the Citizen Chronomaster. ![]()
