Rare Vintage Citizen Shine Manual Wind Men’s Flip Top Braille Watch JDM 1960s

Up for sale is an extremely rare vintage Citizen Shine manual wind men’s flip top braille watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) in the 1960s. This is one of the most unique and innovative designs Citizen has ever produced, combining classic styling with a highly functional and purposeful concept. The watch is in full working condition, and all features and functions are operating properly. It features a push-button mechanism that allows the crystal to flip open, exposing the dial beneath. The dial is fitted with raised braille markers, allowing the time to be read by touch — a fascinating and uncommon design rarely seen in vintage watches. All parts of the watch are original. It comes fitted on its original expandable stainless steel bracelet, which can comfortably accommodate a wide range of wrist sizes. The original caseback protective sticker is still present. The watch is in great physical condition but has signs of aging on the dial. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.
