► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Citizen D-21 ladies digital watch, a Japan-Domestic-Market (JDM) model from the 1970s. This early digital Citizen features a minimalist rounded rectangular case in gold tone paired with a slim leather strap—an elegant and futuristic design for its era.
The watch is new old stock (NOS), has never been worn, and all functions operate properly. The display is crisp, and the watch responds exactly as it should.
This is a complete set, including:
• Original Citizen presentation box
• Original manuals and paperwork
• Original hangtag with the printed retail price
All parts of the watch are 100% original, exactly as sold in Japan decades ago.
Band Note: The original strap is deteriorating from age, which is common for NOS vintage leather straps. It is still included for originality, but may need replacement if the watch is intended to be worn.

► 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.
