Citizen
Chrono Master
Chronometer / 1968


Intro

This vintage Citizen Chrono Master from 1969 features its signature applied stylized eagle emblem on both the dial and the caseback. It serves as an excellent alternative to a vintage Grand Seiko and is truly a beautiful piece that any watch collector can appreciate.

Story

Introduced in 1967, the Chrono Master stood as Citizen’s direct answer to Seiko’s King Seiko and Grand Seiko lines. It offered comparable finishing, precision, and design quality, and today it remains one of the most respected Japanese mechanical watches of the late 1960s.

Chrono Master was built to meet the company’s own “Chronometer Superior Grade” accuracy standard—an internal certification equivalent to Swiss chronometer testing. Due to restrictions at the time regarding the use of the term “chronometer” in Japan (particularly in relation to Switzerland’s tightened rules on how the label could be used), Citizen was unable to display the word “Chronometer” on the dial. As a result, the model name “Chrono Master” was adopted as an alternative.
