Citizen watches made for him
When Citizen was first founded in 1930 they manufactured men’s watches only for several years, starting with the first complete wristwatch in 1931. In the early 1950s, the first 6-beat caliber was completed as well as Japan’s first men’s wristwatch fitted with a date display – also known as ‘Citizen Calendar’.
They went on to create the first shockproof Japanese watch (Parashock), the first automatic winding watch, the first manual winding alarm caliber and the first water-resistant wristwatch.
The 1960s saw Citizen introduce an officially certified chronometer and the world's thinnest men's wristwatch with center seconds, as well as Japan's first electronically regulated balance wristwatch.
The 1970s was when Citizen started to move towards quartz movement. However, they didn’t completely move away from mechanical movements during this time. They introduced the world’s first titanium-cased watch and in 1974 they introduced solar-powered movement.
The 1980s saw Citizen release their 1300m professional diver’s watch and the world’s first watch fitted with a depth gauge. In 1986, Citizen became the world’s largest single manufacturer of watch movements.In the 1990s, Citizen launched the Analog-Aqualand which was the first quartz watch with an analog depth gauge. They also introduced the Eco-Drive movement which fastly became their number one seller.
In the present day, Citizen is one of the best known, biggest selling and most technologically advanced watch manufactures in the world.
