Citizen Red Eagle Appraisal

Citizen Red Eagle Automatic Watch

A vintage Citizen Automatic watch, specifically a "Red Eagle" model, evidenced by the stylized eagle emblem below the central hands. The watch features a stainless steel case and bracelet. The dial is a golden color with a textured waffle or basketweave pattern. It has index hour markers, also in gold tone, that are faceted for readability and depth. The hands are gold-toned with a luminous fill. A day and date window is located at the 3 o'clock position, showing "SAB 4". The case appears to be angular, typical of designs from the 1970s or 1980s. The bracelet is a jubilee-style link construction with polished and brushed sections. There is visible wear on the bracelet links, particularly near the case connection points, and potentially on the edges of the case. The crystal appears to be in decent condition, though it's difficult to assess for fine scratches from this image. The crown is not visible. The dial is marked "CITIZEN AUTOMATIC", "21 JEWELS", and the "Red Eagle" logo. Based on the style and markings, this watch likely dates from the late 20th century.
