Vintage 1981 Citizen Ana-Digi 4-082320 Alarm Chime Chrono Quartz Gold Watch Box

About this watch

A genuine piece of early-80s Japanese "space age" design: analog hands sit over a champagne dial framed by a gold-tone chapter ring, with a multi-function LCD around it for digital time, calendar, alarm, hourly chime, stopwatch (Start-Stop, Lap-Reset) and timer. The squared case and matching mesh-style bracelet give it the classic retro dashboard look collectors love.

The caseback reads "Citizen Watch Co.", "Water Resistant", "Base Metal / Stainless Steel Back", reference 4-082320 and "Japan"; the serial number dates it to 1981.

Brand heritage

Citizen grew out of the Shokosha Watch Research Institute, founded in Tokyo in 1918. Its first pocket watch of 1924 was named "Citizen" by Tokyo mayor Count Shinpei Goto, in the hope that it would become a watch for ordinary citizens everywhere, and the Citizen Watch Co. took the name in 1930. In the late 1970s and early 1980s Citizen was among the leaders in combining analog and digital displays in its Ana-Digi models.
