CITIZEN’s first LCD watch, released in April 1974, marked a new era in digital timekeeping — and this extremely rare Crystron model sits right at the heart of that revolution. Collectors often refer to this case style as “Blacky,” a nickname that hints at its bold, distinctive presence on the wrist.
One of its most captivating details is the CITIZEN CRYSTRON logo: not printed, but engraved and color-filled, giving the watch a depth and craftsmanship that modern digital pieces simply don’t replicate.
Instead of push buttons, this early LCD model uses a crown-operated system, a deliberate design choice by Citizen to make digital functions feel intuitive and familiar at a time when LCD technology was still brand-new.Watches from this generation rarely surface today — especially in this condition. For collectors chasing the origin story of Japanese digital watches, this Crystron isn’t just a timepiece. It’s one of the earliest milestones in LCD history, a piece of design courage, and a true icon from CITIZEN’s golden age.
