The watch At Studio Tokei we have a soft spot for interesting watches, like this colourful Citizen Cosmotron from 1974 with faceted crystal and hybrid movement. The day can be displayed in Japanese Kanji or English.
In very good, unpolished condition with some scratches on the crystal, case and bracelet.
Details Hybrid movement means it’s half mechanical and half quartz. The battery powers the mechanical part of the watch, causing the second hand to tick in a sweeping movement like a mechanical watch. As long as the battery works, the watch will keep running so it’s not necessary to wear or wind the watch to keep it moving. Seiko had the Elnix and Citizen had the Cosmotron. At the time, these watches were just as expensive as a King Seiko.
