In the 60s and 70s, Seiko was not the only Japanese watch company capable of producing watches capable of competing with the Swiss timepieces. Citizen had its Chrono Master range of watches and Orient had their Royal Orient range of watches that were on par with whatever Seiko had to offer at the top of its range. Serious details for example for the hands and hour markers of the Chrono Master also has a black line running down their center, exactly like that of Seiko’s GS and KS. It even has the double baton markers at the 12 o’clock position. From the photos just taken, you can also see the crystal being raised above the watch case, one factor which make this one so utterly desirable! The most compelling factor to me has got to be the medallion on the case back, pretty stunning even if compared to the lion medallion of the Grand Seiko! The medallion is nearly intact which let me to believe that this watch was seldom worn or worn with great care. Crown is unsigned, may or may not be the correct or installed during an old service, Winds and runs well, selling head only without straps. Just like that of the GS/KS, the Citizen logo is applied, while the model name is printed below. Prices for Citizen watches have not been seeing the same stratospheric increases that Seiko vintage watches have been experiencing the last few years which makes them all the more value for money.
