This timepiece is a fascinating blend of practical utility and unique 1970s JDM styling, marking Citizen's shift towards professional and sports watches! The Citizen Seven Star line was the brand's premium automatic offering in the late 1960s and early 1970s, showcasing robust construction with the screw-down "Parawater" caseback- Citizen's early designation for water resistance.

This model, often referred to as a "Soccer Custom," features a high-grade, in-house 21-Jewel Automatic Movement (Caliber 52 or similar) that provides excellent reliability and convenience. The most striking feature is the highly textured, dark gray dial with the unique internal rotating bezel/rehaut which is operated by a second crown and is marked with a 0-60 minute scale- a feature used for timing various events or sports, enhancing its tool-watch appeal. This piece represents the bold design and mechanical capability that defined Japanese watchmaking in the pre-quartz era!
