Vintage Citizen Quartz Tank Watch
This is a vintage Citizen Quartz dress watch featuring a classic rectangular 'Tank' style case. The case is gold-toned, likely gold-plated or base metal with a yellow gold finish, and measures approximately 20mm to 24mm in width. The dial is white or light cream with a rail-track minute border and black Roman numeral hour markers, which are characteristic of traditional dress watches from the 1980s or 1990s. The 'CITIZEN QUARTZ' branding is positioned below the 12 o'clock marker, with the stylized 'CQ' logo above the 6 o'clock marker. The watch has a three-hand analog display (hours, minutes, and seconds) with thin black hands and a gold-toned center pinion. It is paired with a black lizard-grain or embossed leather strap that shows signs of curvature from wear. The condition appears fair to good for its age, with visible surface scratches on the gold-toned bezel and signs of use on the strap. The crystal appears intact but may have light scuffing. This timepiece represents the affordable elegance of Japanese quartz manufacturing from the late 20th century, modeling its aesthetic after high-end luxury icons like the Cartier Tank.
