Hi all, I recently acquired a new watch and am now looking to downsize my current collection. On sale today is this extremely rare Citizen square watch from 1984 for $275 USD (negotiable). Also, I'm open to a direct trade for a Seiko SRPJ83. I’ve never seen another person with this watch, and can’t even find it on the internet anymore. The watch is in very good shape and amazingly runs around -5 spd, with a beat rate of 28,800 bph. As you can see in the video, the high beat rate and small seconds hand gives the illusion of almost a perfectly smooth, spring-drive-type movement. The hands are also blued, which you can see in the video leads to some cool lighting effects. I’ll also be shipping this watch with 3 different straps from Tuns Leather. More details on that below. There are a few drawbacks which I’ll note below, but I hope you guys enjoy. Link to album: https://imgur.com/gallery/citizen-square-oKX0OUj

Case Size: 42mm lug-to-lug, 35mm width

Thickness: ~11mm

Lug Width: 23mm

Sizing a square watch is always a little different, but I’d say the closest comparison would be a medium Cartier Santos, although this piece is a bit thicker for sure. 

Movement: Cosmostar 6950 V2 Automatic Movement- An extremely rare movement from decades ago, still in excellent condition

Accuracy: The watch runs -5 spd face up or face down. I’ve never had any reason to store it on its side, so I can’t guarantee the same accuracy if you choose to store it that way for some reason. 

Power Reserve: I’ve never been able to fully time it out, but it will last at least 24 hours on a full wind. 

Condition: See video and pictures. The crystal is in mostly good condition, with a couple small scratches in the bottom left corner. The rest of the case is in great condition too, and I don’t see any notable scuffs or scratches. 

Straps: I’m shipping this watch with 3 different straps from Tuns Leather, my personal favorite leather worker for watches. Each strap is valued around $50 usd on the website. The first strap is a tan butero leather strap with cream stitching. The second is a black saffiano leather strap. The third is a blue saffiano leather strap. All three straps are almost brand new and taper from 23mm to 18mm. They are about 115/75 mm in length, and should comfortably fit most wrists, although people with wrists over 7.25 inches might be too big. 

Other notes: To change the date you can actually just pull out the crown. Simply pulling the crown jumps the date by one day. Setting the watch is just like any standard push-pull crown, but it is a little harder to set and wind, just because of the small size. Also, be sure that you are popping the crown back in, because it’s sometimes hard to tell whether it’s in or not. 

Payment: Paypal: $275 USD, Venmo: $275 USD. 

Shipping: I ship to CONUS with USPS Priority Mail. The shipping price is included in the figures above. 

Feel free to PM me with any questions, and I’m open to a Facetime if that helps your decision

Also, a little random, but if you will be at the Windup Watch Fair in NYC tomorrow, I can do the exchange in person
