Diver from 1976
Highly underrated in my opinion . Citizen divers just don’t seem to have the following they should have ,as some of their earlier divers are superbly made .

I have long been a vintage Citizen fan. Here's an uncommon variation, and yes, the lume is original:

My 62-6198 from 74 , bought it earlier in the year . If you want a good read on vintage citizen divers or other citizen watches up to 1978 then look at Vintagecitizenwatches.com .

Rare early diver, possibly the first manufactured by Citizen. A really nice watch, with an eccentric (and cool) winding system. Also, remarkably, the different color lume hands are intentional and original! I have seen several others with the same design. Presumably this would have, in theory, helped a diver to immediately distinguish between the two if the water was murky, or the mask fogged, etc.

My 10 year old Citizen, bought as a beater yet it just goes and goes and goes, when this gives up the ghost I will happily buy another.
