► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is an ultra rare Citizen Vega Astro Boy digital chronograph men’s watch, model 9468-391136, produced exclusively for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1980s. Considered a true grail piece among collectors, this watch is one of the most sought-after Citizen character models ever made and is nearly impossible to find in working condition.
This special edition features a unique animated Astro Boy display that moves across the screen during timekeeping—a delightful tribute to Japan’s most iconic character. The watch is also distinguished by its vivid blue-tinted crystal and a distinct pink/red accent in the lower-left corner, adding to its unmistakable charm and rarity.
The watch is in full working condition, and all features and functions operate properly, including timekeeping, chronograph, lap, day/date display, and backlight. It is fitted with a brand new high-end black leather strap, offering both comfort and style.
Physically, the watch is in near mint condition, showing minimal signs of handling and presenting beautifully overall. The caseback remains clean and legible, displaying its original model and serial engraving.
