From my private collection. According to the serial number, produced in 1967. When not wearing it for special occasions, it has been proudly displayed in my watch display case. It functions and keeps actuate time. The alarm functions perfectly.

Beautiful watch, elegant design, and excellent condition. The sound of this watch is loud and powerful.

The case has a classic shape, round, with nicely shaped lugs, not too thin, not too thick, following the shape of the wrist. The case back has a flat surface but it is raised to integrate the movement. Due to the curvature of the lugs the watch sits comfortable on the wrist. The case back snaps into a certain position because it needs to be in a unique place so the alarm will interact as it should, with the pin attached to the inside of it. The place where the pin is, is also visible on the outside. There are no crown guards to interfere with the overall case design. The twin crowns are of a consistent size, easy to operate, signed “CTZ”. One of the main visual attractions is the fluted bezel that compliments the design of the watch. The crystal is made of domed acrylic.

The dial is a stunning sunburst pattern silver that, depending on the lighting conditions, displays many shades ranging from silver to gray. The hands are polished gold. The alarm hand is shorter with a triangle tip. The baton markers for the main hours are raised, applied and polished gold. They are faceted for a better legibility. The writing on the dial reads: “4H” (this is for 4 hands) “Citizen Alarm Date” and on the lower part ” Para 40 meter” and “21 jewels”. The date wheel is white with black digits.

The movement is the caliber hand winding 3102 (date), 21 Jewels, 18000 bph. The crowns are one for the time and the one for the alarm. The crown at 2 o’clock in first position is winding the alarm and the alarm is deactivated. If you pull it in the second position you can set the alarm (counterclockwise) and the alarm is activated. Pressing it while the alarm is ringing will stop it. The crown at 4 will wind the watch and pulling it out will set the time. The alarm will ring for 12 seconds. The date is set by changing 22-24h. The movement has a power reserve of about 40 hours and it runs great if winding it once a day. It is Parashock.
