This week I am wearing watches with SS bracelets. Watch #1 is a very special watch. My uncle Mitsuo gave this watch to my father about 20 years ago. My pop wore this watch for years until my sister gave him the zodiac he currently wears. I asked my pop if I could have this watch and he gave it to me. I cleaned it up and re-sized the bracelet and replaced the battery and now have another awesome watch for my collection.
My Uncle was president of Mitsubishi Aluminum and this watch was a collaboration between Citizen and Mitsubishi. It features a mirror polished aluminum case and really cool brown textured dial.
Citizen was founded in Tokyo in 1918 as the Shokosha Watch Research Institute and became Citizen Watch in 1930.
In the United States, they are best known for their line of fantastic Eco-Drive watches.
Citizen makes a great watch!
That is a beautiful watch with amazing history. Excellent addition to your growing collection.
