The Caliber 8110 is that answer, and it remains the movement for which Citizen is known among chronograph collectors to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eThe Caliber 8110\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhile three consortia in Switzerland were working on the automatic chronograph and Seiko presented its Caliber 6139, Citizen developed its own construction with a column wheel and vertical clutch. This resulted in the 8110 family – an automatic chronograph with a day and date display, two totalizers, and an inner rotating bezel operated via the second crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor collectors, this series is sought after for a simple reason: it is an entirely proprietary development from an era when the automatic chronograph was the ultimate discipline – and it was built in manageable numbers. Anyone looking for a Japanese automatic chronograph from the 1970s today will end up with the Seiko 6139 or the Citizen 8110; there is nothing comparable below that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe case back bears the engraving \u003cstrong\u003eCITIZEN WATCH CO. · 4-901045 TA · 01001086 · GN-4-S · 67-9119 · JAPAN\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eDesign and Character\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe anthracite dial has a strictly functional layout: the thirty-minute counter is at 6 o'clock, the twelve-hour counter at 12 o'clock, and the day-date window at 3 o'clock. The applied indices and hands are filled with bright luminous material, while the central chronograph hand and the sub-dial hands are finished in a bold orange – a color accent that distinguishes the timed duration from the current time at a glance and immediately places the dial in the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe inner rotating bezel with minute scale can be adjusted via the crown at 10 o'clock, adding a second, independent timekeeping function to the chronograph. The two pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock control start, stop, and reset functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe case measures 37.5 mm excluding the crown, with a 43.7 mm lug-to-lug and 13.9 mm height – remarkably compact for an automatic chronograph. The watch comes on the \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal Citizen steel bracelet\u003c\/strong\u003e, which provides the solid, high-quality feel at a total weight of 99 grams that belongs to a chronograph of this class. Original bracelets for this series are much harder to find today than the watches themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegarding the case material:\u003c\/strong\u003e The case back is stainless steel, the upper part of the case is chrome-plated base metal – the case back engraving explicitly identifies this with \"BASE METAL TOP · STAINLESS STEEL BACK.\" This construction was common for Japanese chronographs of those years.
