I’ll be publishing a page soon on the ‘Cosmotron’ line of electro-mechanical watches Citizen produced for about 10 years from 1966.

Using what was then new solid state circuitry and battery power, it proved to be short-lived once quartz made its appearance and now represents an interesting slice of watch history.
