You will have noticed a distinct lack of posts for some time, so an update is well overdue! I remain very interested in vintage Citizen watches, but other commitments and activities have taken me away from proper blog management. I must apologise especially for not responding to comments posted on the blog. Time is just not available for that I\u2019m afraid. <\/p>\n<p>I will be keeping the blog active, since it provides a reference resource for fellow Citizen enthusiasts and collectors, so your visits here remain very welcome. And I will reply as best I can to questions sent via the email tool on this home page, under the \u2018<strong>Got a Question<\/strong>\u2018 header. Please only use this if you have an enquiry about a vintage Citizen, rather than posting a question as a comment on the relevant page since I won\u2019t be able to reply via that route. I do welcome as well additional information that I may not have included in my posts and pages.<\/p>\n<p>Before emailing a question please use the search function found on the right side of the home page since you may get the answer you need more quickly that way. <\/p>\n<p>My own collection and reference material cover mechanical and electro-mechanical hybrid watches from 1931 to 1980, and the pre-1980 early quartz models. Please note I can\u2019t offer much help about models later than that period, for example the Eco Drives and mass produced quartz models. Probably the best way to find information on these later types is to search using the relevant case number which is likely to start with the calibre number, in the form of 1234-567890 (may also contain letters) <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sweep-hand.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/90389577group22.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sweep-hand.org\/90389577group22-jpg\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/sweep-hand.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/90389577group22.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1000,980\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;DSLR-A700&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1301585695&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;SONY DSC&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"90389577group22.jpg\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;https:\/\/sweep-hand.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/90389577group22.jpg&lt;\/p&gt;&#10;\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/sweep-hand.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/90389577group22.jpg?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/sweep-hand.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/90389577group22.jpg?w=640\" width=\"640\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/sweep-hand.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/90389577group22.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.0207407925570984;width:637px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sweep-hand.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/90389577group22.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/sweep-hand.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/90389577group22.jpg?w=150 150w, https:\/\/sweep-hand.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/90389577group22.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/sweep-hand.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/90389577group22.jpg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/sweep-hand.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/90389577group22.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-utility\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis entry was posted in <a href=\"https:\/\/sweep-hand.org\/category\/vintage-watches\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Vintage Watches<\/a>.
