It features a clean and elegant face with "no vertical sub-dial and 1 register," symbolizing the dawn of Japanese chronographs. It was produced for only a short period of about 5 years, making this a rare and highly sought-after piece with very few remaining. Its most notable feature is the "flyback function," a testament to Citizen's technological prowess. This mechanism, which allows for instantaneous resetting to zero and restarting of measurement by pressing the button below the crown during measurement, was a status symbol reserved for high-end models of the time. ●Detailed Information • Model Name: Citizen Record Master • Movement: Cal.5702 / 21 jewels / Manual wind (flyback mechanism) • Case Material: Stainless steel • Manufacturing: Made in Japan • Year of Manufacture: 1968 • Original SS solid bracelet ●Size • Case Width: Approx. 38mm (excluding crown) • Lug Width: Approx. 18mm • Wrist Circumference: Approx. 17cm - 17.5cm (Please allow for slight errors) ●Product Condition • Overhauled in June 2025: Daily rate -6 seconds to +10 seconds (on timegrapher, flat position), an astonishing accuracy comparable to modern watches.
