Actually I own two almost identical watches, the main difference is in the colour of the dial. The problem is in the fact that there is no serial number on the back case. The movement is , other numbers are SMH and Also maybe some additional data could help.
The glass is plexy with an inner metal ring, the watch is 38 mm wide and lug to lug is 39 mm. The crown is signed with CTZ. Also one interesting thing is that the movement has 17 jewels not 21 as most have.
The other almost identical watch with silver sunburst dial has with 21 jewels. Maybe it is not important but I cannot recall that I have ever seen with 17 jewels.

Hi Nikola — thanks for visiting my blog, and for your kind comments. Also thank you for all the information you have provided, including very good images. This is unusual but Citizen did this on some models, unfortunately. So, what can we say to determine the likely production date?

Hi Jon, thanks for visiting my blog, and for your kind comments. You have an interesting watch. Bar some versions of the later movement, in my opinion the earlier version are more interesting — and they are certainly, generally speaking, rarer.
The later versions have a simple flat snap on back, with a pin riveted to it against which hammer strikes. Some of the early models had a rotating disk to set the alarm, and they are very hard to find. The movement is relatively simple, with a separate spring for the alarm, and runs at the standard 18, beats per hour. Is the watch running and the alarm working? The first three digits are the year and month.
Yes, the watch is running like a champ and the alarm still works without fail and is loud. Do you happen to know what size strap would fit this watch? And great to hear as well that the watch is running well. I would recommend getting it serviced by a skilled watchmaker if you are going to wear it regularly — that will make sure it is thoroughly clean and freshly lubricated. I would think the strap width is a standard 18mm on these, but worth double checking by measuring the gap between the lugs, i.
This model most likely came on a leather strap originally. Can someone tell me anything about this watch: citizen 21 jewels parawater TA Hi Filip, thanks for visiting my blog.

I guessed it made of silver. Can you please determine the year of production? Hi and thank you for visiting my blog and for your kind comment. Your watch is one of the early quartz models, with the movements inside. These were expensive watches when new, since quartz technology was still new at that time, and a silver cased one would have been very expensive.
But Citizen usually used CSP for silver plated models, so is yours solid silver do you think? The serial number — — tells us that is was made in July Hi, I have a ladies gold colored watch, given to me around or I am not sure if my husband purchased it on the Navy base where he was stationed Either Oakland or Muir Island or in a bay area jeweler. The face is oval in shape but the oval goes horizontal. The dial is marked with lines, not numbers. The watch is not working, it was a winding watch if I recall and the stem is very loose.
Can you help me identify it, and also please advise how to get it running again? It is sentimental. Someone suggested years ago that I should just replace the insides with a battery operated movement but I did not want to at the time. What would you suggest? I can email photos of front and back if you want.
Hi Nanci, thanks for visiting my blog. From the markings on the case back your watch was made in September , and is a ladies hand winder using one of the the movements. This movement has a number of versions all of the same design, some had no second hand and others had slightly revised components.
The movement numbers for models with no second hand are , , , , and It sounds like the movement is rather worn, so service and repair might require parts, and they are not likely to be available from parts suppliers these days. Since ladies watches are not collected they are not seen very often. Thank you so much for the information!
I will take it to a jeweler and go from there. My goal is just to be able to wear it and pass it down to my daughter or granddaughter at some point as a sentimental gift. Nice blog! Hope you can find a watchmaker who works on older watches.

CItizen Watch Co. Hi Talha — thanks for visiting my blog.
The catalog models had similar bracelets too, so I think yours is probably original. Hi Talha, hope you get this! I have the same watch same wrist band, too , so sad it went out of order just a few weeks ago, after a restoration and years of service. How about yours? Would you sell it? I would advise searching eBay for similar watches to yours to see what they sell for.
Hi Debbie, thanks for visiting my blog. The movement inside is a date only automatic, which was made from until around , so the year it was made can only be Although Citizen is better known for their more recent quartz and eco-drive technology, they made very nice mechanical watches in the s and early s.
These movements are good quality, reliable and capable of very accurate time-keeping when in good condition. They run at 21, beats per hour, which had become the typical running speed at that time previously it was 18, beats per hour.
Than you so much for your reply. It was really helpful. My grandfather had both black and silver dial versions of the watch bought on separate occasions while on holiday in Jersey. I have the silver version.
I just received my first Citizen and while searching for info on it I came across your blog. I was wondering if you could help me with some info on it…. Hi Teddy — thanks for visiting my blog. Looks to me like you have an automatic.
GNS is the case type, and this code indicates a water resistant design with a screw down back. Does it have an Eagle motif on the dial as in the Eagle 7 line which was introduced in the early s? It does not have an Eagle on it. The dial looks relatively new, so I was thinking that its a possible re-dial? This looks like a re-dial to me — the Citizen logo is typical of that, and the lack of a dial code is also common when dials are repainted.
