Citizen Solar-Tech Two-Tone Women's Wristwatch

This item is a Citizen women's wristwatch featuring a two-tone design, likely stainless steel and gold-tone accents. The watch has a round case with a gold-tone bezel that is secured by six decorative gold-tone screws around its circumference, adding a distinctive aesthetic detail. The dial is a luminous mother-of-pearl, exhibiting iridescent reflections, and is marked with gold-tone hour markers, some appearing as small dots while others are short bars. The watch hands are also gold-tone, with a slender minute and hour hand and a thin second hand. The brand name 'CITIZEN' is visible at the 12 o'clock position, below which 'WR 100' indicates a water resistance rating. At the 6 o'clock position, 'SOLAR-TECH' is printed, signifying that the watch is powered by light. The watch is attached to a flexible bracelet, which continues the two-tone theme with alternating silver-tone and gold-tone links. The gold-tone elements on the bracelet links contribute to a segmented, almost brick-like pattern. Visible condition issues include minor surface scratches on the metal components, particularly on the gold-tone areas of the bezel and bracelet links, consistent with regular wear. There are no major dings, dents, or cracks immediately apparent. The crystal appears clear. The style suggests a late 20th to early 21st-century production, typical of Citizen's robust and functional design aesthetic for everyday wear. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard mass-produced quality for a reputable watch brand; the two-tone design is well-integrated, giving it a classic yet versatile appeal.
