Citizen Exceed from 1980 with a square two-tone case and rounded corners. The glossy black dial is paired with applied gold-tone markers and matching gold-tone hands, creating a clean contrast against the steel and gold-tone case. Its simple geometry and restrained detailing give it an elegant retro character.
Exceed was one of Citizen's higher-end lines, developed around refined design and advanced quartz technology. This example is paired with a handmade black ostrich leather strap with a gold-tone steel buckle.
The case shows light wear, while the sapphire crystal is clean and the dial shows some light age-related wear. Overall, this example is in very good condition.
The watch is modeled on a 16cm (6.3 inch) wrist.

Quality vintage watches are durable and designed for regular wear, but should still be treated with care due to their age. Like all vintage watches, this piece is no longer considered water resistant. It is currently running well at the time of listing, though future servicing or adjustment may eventually be required, like any watch of its age.
