A fully functioning Crystron LC LCD quartz watch from Citizen, on the original strap. Model reference 4-060229
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in April 1979.
CONDITION
This Crystron LC would have been very ‘now’ in 1979. LCD watches were still quite cutting edge, and this one shows the day and date alongside the 6 digit time display, but if you press the bottom pusher you can see the date displayed with day, date, month and year. Please not that the year can not be adjusted past 2009, but Citizen were a little under ambitious with this thirty year life and the watch is still working perfectly over 40 years since it was made. This glitch has an upside for a birth year watch – we can set the date to read 1979, which is ideal for a birth year watch! The light still works too, but if you remember these watches this was never very bright. The bracelet is the original, and although we have replaced the rear part of the clasp for a new part we have kept the signed CQ clasp. The glass does have a few scratches, but the plating is all good and the gold and brown colourway works well for the period. The segments all show, and there are no bleeds on the LCD screen. The technology on the Crystron was good for the time but you still have to look at the watch square on to see the time, and the photos show if the angle is too great you can not see the display. The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath, and we will fit a new battery prior to sending the watch out.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
