► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Vega by Citizen Chinese Zodiac men’s dress watch, reference 2199-408403, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1980s. Vega was a sub-brand of Citizen, known for producing distinctive and creative designs, and this fascinating model is one of its most unique offerings. It features an intricate Chinese zodiac calendar display paired with a rotating sun phase motif that moves as the time advances, creating a truly eye-catching dial. The watch is in full working condition, and all features and functions are operating properly, including the rotating Chinese zodiac calendar and sun phase display. It is fitted on an aftermarket brown leather strap, as the original strap had deteriorated with age. The watch is in excellent physical condition with only very light signs of use and age. It features a beautiful and highly detailed dial that presents exceptionally well. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully by interested buyers.
