Up for sale is an extremely rare NOS Citizen Independent MATRIX digital LED men’s watch, model 1481010, produced in the 1990s exclusively for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM). This model is nearly impossible to find, especially in brand new, unused condition with its full original packaging.
The watch is brand new with tags and still sealed in its original factory protective plastic. It includes the original Citizen MATRIX presentation box, JDM guarantee booklet, instruction manual, and paperwork—all matching and original to the watch.
All features and functions of the watch are working properly. The LED display is bright and responsive. Please note that LED displays are extremely difficult to photograph or capture accurately on video, as the refresh pattern often appears blank or partially lit when recorded. In person, the display is clean, crisp, and fully functional.
Every part of the watch is 100% original—case, bracelet, clasp, module, box, papers, tags, and protective plastics.
The watch is in mint, never worn, never used condition—a true preserved time capsule from Citizen’s experimental “Independent” sub-brand era, famously associated with futuristic and design-centric digital models.

► ARCHIVE FILE: CITIZEN — BRAND HISTORY
Citizen traces to the Shokosha Watch Research Institute, founded in Tokyo in 1918. Its first product, a pocket watch completed in 1924, was christened CITIZEN, a name encouraged by Tokyo mayor Shinpei Goto in the hope that the watch would be close to the hearts of ordinary people. Citizen Watch Co. was formally established in 1930, and through the postwar decades it grew into one of the two pillars of Japanese watchmaking alongside Seiko, eventually ranking among the largest watch producers in the world.
