This Week’s Featured Watch #75 – 4-722132
This week’s watch might be called a Leopard that has lost its spots 🙂 I came across this model for the first time recently, case number 4-722132, with 26 jewels, from August 1971: Although the 7200 movement with 26 jewels runs at 21,600 beats … Continue reading

Citizen’s Chronometer Standards
I finally feel confident enough to publish a reference page on the standards Citizen used for their mechanical and electro-mechanical chronometers in the 1960s and 1970s. After a fair bit of research I think I’ve reached the right conclusions, but I … Continue reading
This Week’s Featured Watch #74 – Seven Star Custom Deluxe
Although recent Featured Watches have been higher grade models – a Chronometer and a couple of ‘Super’ examples – Citizen’s mid-grade offerings can also give very good performance. This week’s watch is one of those; from the Seven Star range it … Continue reading

Who Says Citizens Aren’t Collectable?
I watched an auction on Yahoo Japan last week with interest, even knowing that the final price would be well out of my league! Collectors, in Japan at least, appreciate the qualities of Citizen’s first true chronometer grade watch. It … Continue reading
This Week’s Featured Watch #73 – the Leopard Chronometer
The very early 1970s marked what was probably the peak of Citizen’s mechanical watch production, and their ‘Leopard’ line offered a range of quality models, all high beat, and (for mechanicals) capable of very accurate time-keeping. Often marked ‘superbeat’ the Leopards ran at … Continue reading
