I am a very picky watch collector, which means I have only a few because at times it will take 7-8 years before I find a new one. That was the case with this watch. In 2011 I picked up a Grand Complication and nothing I have seen has made me want a watch until I found this watch. It is nothing short of beautiful. I love the contrast colors and the leather strap mechanics make it very easy to size accordingly. I have never questioned Citizens craftsmanship or quality and both are on display here. Its work buying if you find one of the 1973 that were made.
Very nice watch. Wears well on my wrist. Gonna be one of my favorites.
I have been collecting Citizen Watches since 2000, in Aruba Little Europe. I have a few Limited Editions too. I have Radio and Satellite Wave models also. The Eco Drive has sold me as No Batteries or Motion to keep them running. This model with the with the Ivory face makes it really stands out. The crystal magnifies the face so it's so easy to read and with the stem and other buttons on top really make it comfortable to wear. The leather band with the clasp with buttons is so easy to adjust to the wearer's comfort. As you can see in the photo it is also the only light face one in my collection which makes it stand out.
