► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a Rare Vintage Citizen Automatic 6501 Men’s 21J Classic Dress Watch JDM 1970s. Produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM), this vintage Citizen features a very unique blackened steel case paired with an attractive green gradient dial, applied hour markers, and a day-date display. Powered by Citizen’s 21-jewel automatic movement, the watch has a distinctive 1970s appearance that stands out from more traditional stainless steel dress watches of the era.

The watch is fitted with an aftermarket black leather strap.
The watch is in good vintage physical condition with signs of use and age. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully prior to purchase.
