If you like an older watch but prefer a larger case size, then the Citizen AutoDater 7 could be the watch for you.  Model reference ADSS 1404T.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in July 1965.

CONDITION

Yes, size is important, but it is not everything.  This AutoDater may be very large for a 1965 watch, but there is much more to it.  The movement for example is the calibre 4102, a 25 jewel automatic which uses Citizen’s Jet technology – the full size rotor does not pivot from the centre like a regular automatic.  This was the last model to feature this design before Citizen reverted to a simpler, standard auto works.  It also has the ‘easy-change’ quick set date, operated by pulling the signed crown.  The day is in English, and isn’t able to be quickset, but the movement can be hand wound as well as automatically wound – one up on the Seiko 5 models this competed with when new.  The dial has a few marks on it, and the acrylic crystal has the date magnifier like it should (it may be the original).  The case is all stainless steel, but the bezel is chrome plated and does show some wear.  The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
