Up for sale is an extremely rare vintage Citizen “The Memory of Reversion Okinawa” commemorative men’s manual wind watch, reference number 6700-673310, produced in 1972 to commemorate the reversion of Okinawa to Japan. Following World War II, Okinawa remained under United States administration for nearly three decades, and in 1972 it was formally returned to Japanese sovereignty. This watch was issued to mark that historically significant moment.
This special edition features a beautifully engraved dial and caseback motif and is housed in a solid .920 silver case, making it a highly desirable and historically important Citizen timepiece.
The watch is in full working condition and is running and holding accurate time. The manual wind movement operates properly.
All parts of the watch are original. The watch is fitted on an aftermarket brown leather strap.
The watch is in fantastic overall physical condition, showing light signs of use consistent with age. Please review the photos carefully, as they best describe the watch’s physical condition.

► 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.
