Vintage Citizen Cosmotron X8 Electronic 4-480031 1970
This Citizen is quite a special beast - the Citizen Cosmotron X-8 series was a transistorized caliber, better known as electronic. It is powered by a battery but also has a balance wheel, so you'll hear the caliber ticking and the second hands "sweeping" like an mechanical watch.
The Cosmotron (and electronic movements by Japanese companies) were produced in the early 1970s but ended up to be discontinued as they didn't win against quartz and also had some quirks. It's therefor quite hard to find a working example - but they're really good from a technological standpoint :)
This Citizen Cosmotron is working perfectly, has a fresh battery to ensure it working perfectly. The 37mm steel case is brushed on the front sides and polished on the sides and in great condition. It comes on a metal bracelet of which I'm not entirely sure if it's the original one, but with original Citizen buckle.
