► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Citizen Quartz Crystron Alarm 50-2111 men’s digital watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) in the 1970s. This early Citizen digital model represents the brand’s pioneering work in quartz and LCD technology during the formative years of digital watchmaking. The watch is being sold for parts and repair as it is currently not functioning and completely untested, so it is unknown what the issue is or if it can be fixed. In addition, the case back does not seem to stay secured on the watch. I did not attempt to force it closed with excessive pressure and will leave that to the buyer. The watch shows signs of use and age throughout and does not come with a strap. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully. A great candidate for restoration, parts, or display and a desirable early Citizen Crystron digital model from the 1970s.

► 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.
