The Watch

Citizen founded the Shokosha Watch Research Institute in 1918. The name originates from a pocket watch it produced in 1924. The Mayor of Tokyo, Mr Shimpei Goto, named the watch "CITIZEN" in the hopes the watch would become a worldwide success.

Here we have a 1970s Citizen "Bullhead" Chronograph 67-9020 with a 38mm tonneau polished stainless steel case. The case sits on your wrist like a cushion. Lug to lug length of 41.5mm and a thickness of 13.5mm gives the watch an excellent wrist presence. At the top of the case, you find the pump chronograph pushers and a signed crown in the centre, this configuration gives it its name of “Bullhead”. An outer smooth stainless steel bezel painted black holds a domed crystal. The silver dial has an outer Tachymetric scale precisely printed. Applied baton indexes infilled with luminescence mark the hours. At 3 o’clock you have a 30-minute register, at 6 o’clock a day date vertically positioned, and finally a 12-hour register. The stainless steel sword hands are complemented by a red chronograph hand. The black registers are a nice contrast with the silver adding asymmetry to the dial. An applied “Citizen” at 12 with precisely printed text underneath. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the watch's reference and serial numbers stamped into it. Inside an Automatic Citizen Cal. 8110A, 23 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour, and this movement has a pillar wheel flyback feature. Comes fitted on an 18mm black suede strap.
