Vintage Citizen Challange Diver Air Pilot 52-0110 Skin Diver 150m Automatic Sub PAF Arrow issued Pakistan Air Denfense Force Officer military for sale.
You can see the watch is exactly condition like picture.
I think it is very good to collect.
The watch is so Special. When I research about the Citizen watch, the Challange Diver 52-0110 is one of the most favorite watch that I want to collect. It is really cool when we read about the watch is found on Long Reef Beach north of Sydney with the clump out side the watch. And when remove the clump, he can see the watch tich-tich-tich.
This story of a buyer tell that the watch is really good quality to wear like tool watch today as vintage watch.
And the second is the marking "PAF Arrow" out side the case back. If we read more about the PAF, we know the Citizen Challange Diver PAF is one of the most Rarest and Coolest Citizen issued. A collector just ask Mr Brian Coughley and then he confirm Pakistan Air Defence Force Officer used Citizen PAF issued!
Mr Brian is a British and Australian army veteran. He is author of numerous bôks and papers on the Pakistan Military. He spent 8 years in Pakistan first as head of UN Military Mission in Kashmir, then as Australian Defence attaché. A regular visitor to Pakistan he updates its defence detail for the website IHS Jane"s Sentinel. So his confirm about Citizen is really amazing with many collector.
And the another marking inside the case back is "M". Many collector guess that "M" can be meaning Mujahideen (or Mujahidin) it can mean meaning "Struggler or Strovers, Doers of Jihad", an Arabic term that broadly refers to people who engrave in jihad.
The widespread use of the word in English began with reference to the guerrilla-type militant groups led by the Islamist Afghan fighters in the Soviet–Afghan War (see Afghan mujahideen). The term now extends to other jihadist groups in various countries.
Note: Not much Citizen can have Real "PAF Arrow" and not much Citizen can have both "PAF Arrow" and "M" marking in caseback.
That is why the watch is much rare than normal.
