Promaster Altichron Appraisal

Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Altichron Analog-Digital Gold Tone Watch

This item is a Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Altichron watch, featuring an analog-digital display and a gold-tone case. The watch has a round, polished gold-tone metal case which appears to be in good condition with minor surface wear consistent with use. The dial is white with black hourly markers and a prominent black 'V' shaped logo or indicator below the 12 o'clock position. The hands are black, and there are smaller white markings for minute intervals. A key feature is the digital display located at the 6 o'clock position, showing '52 0' and another symbol, likely indicating altitude or a similar reading, distinguishing it as part of the Promaster Altichron series. There are also smaller sub-dials or indicators visible around the main dial, suggesting additional functions like a compass or power reserve. Two pushers are visible on the right side of the case, suggesting control for the digital functions or chronograph. The watch is fitted with a brown leather strap, which exhibits significant wear, including creasing, discoloration, and a somewhat flattened texture, particularly near the lugs and buckle area. The buckle itself is a simple gold-tone pin buckle, consistent with the watch case. The overall style suggests a sporty yet classic design, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, given the Eco-Drive technology and analog-digital combination. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard watch manufacturing quality for a reputable brand like Citizen. Visible condition issues include the extensive wear on the leather strap and minor scuffs on the metal case. The crystal appears clear. The functionality of the digital display and various complications would require inspection to fully assess its working condition. The Citizen Eco-Drive technology indicates it is powered by light, eliminating the need for battery changes.
