Vintage Citizen Watches
Most of the attention on vintage Japanese watches goes to Seiko. Citizen, the other major Japanese maker of the era, is often overlooked — and that is exactly where some of the better value sits.
Citizen produced strong dress and sports pieces through the 1960s and 1970s. The Chrono Master series stands out for dial design and texture. High-beat models such as the Highness and the Leopard offer real technical ambition that still flies under the radar. The Glorious is one of the rarer vintage Japanese watches you will find. Alongside these are Chronos lines, including the Bullhead, plus solid divers. At the same price point, a well-chosen Citizen frequently gives you more watch than the more hyped Japanese alternatives.
At Samurai Vintage Co. we are proud to source these hidden gems, check them carefully, and share them with collectors who want something beyond the usual Seiko conversation. Vintage Citizen is underrated, and it is worth your attention.
