(SERVICED) Rare Vintage 1965 Citizen Alarm Date 21 Jewels - ALDS 51301a-Y ✅ DIAL (ORIGINAL) ✅ CROWN (ORIGINAL) ✅ GLASS (ORIGINAL) ✅ CASE SIZE: 37mm. This serviced Rare Vintage 1965 Citizen Alarm Date Ref. ALDS 51301a-Y is an extraordinary mechanical marvel from a golden era of Japanese micro-engineering, representing Citizen’s highly competitive response to the Swiss alarm watches of the mid-century. It is powered by the sophisticated 21-jewel manual-winding alarm movement, featuring a dual-crown system that operates a fully mechanical wrist alarm alongside a practical date complication with an integrated cyclops magnifier. Following a full service and precise mechanical regulation, both the timekeeping and the internal alarm hammer function with crisp, vigorous performance, offering a fascinatingly tactile connection to 1960s horological tech. The silver sunburst dial is in 100% original condition, featuring bold applied indices, sharp alpha-style hands, and the distinct arrow-tipped indicator for setting the alarm time. The dial’s layout remains wonderfully balanced, showing a light, honest aging that underscores its authentic vintage soul. The stainless steel case is uniquely characterized by its striking fluted bezel, which adds a powerful layer of executive texture and dressy sophistication to the watch head. It retains its original factory geometry with clean, sharp lug lines, and features the dual factory-correct crowns positioned at 2 and 4 o'clock for separate time and alarm operation. Every structural component of the watch head - including the original dial, crystal with cyclops, case, and both crowns - is entirely authentic, ensuring maximum historical integrity. To refresh its executive profile, it has been paired with a premium black leather strap with an alligator pattern. Collectors highly value the ALDS 51301a-Y for its mechanical complexity and its increasingly rare presence in well-preserved condition. This 1965 specimen delivers a superb mix of historical tool-watch functionality and classic mid-century luxury - a rare, mechanical conversation piece that serves as a cornerstone addition to any serious vintage watch collection.
