Particularly noteworthy is the rare combination of the striking case design, the intense \u003cstrong data-start=\"472\" data-end=\"503\"\u003eblue sunburst dial\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the \u003cstrong data-start=\"512\" data-end=\"544\"\u003eoriginal Citizen steel bracelet\u003c\/strong\u003e with a signed clasp – a configuration that is increasingly difficult to find today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"634\" data-end=\"969\"\u003eThe Cosmotron series represents a highly exciting transitional phase in watch history: electronic watches with a classic balance wheel, but already transistor-controlled. Citizen was one of the pioneers in this field, developing the Cosmotron as an independent technical solution between mechanical watches and the later dominant quartz movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"971\" data-end=\"1576\"\u003eInside, the \u003cstrong data-start=\"995\" data-end=\"1019\"\u003eCitizen Caliber 7804\u003c\/strong\u003e, an electronic movement from the advanced Cosmotron generation, is at work. It is characterized by a high frequency of \u003cstrong data-start=\"1135\" data-end=\"1173\"\u003e36,000 semi-oscillations per hour\u003c\/strong\u003e and a typically smooth second hand for this type of construction. Power is supplied by a battery, but without quartz regulation – a technical concept that has become rare today. Particularly characteristic is the intelligent quick-set feature: depending on the watch's orientation, either the date or the weekday can be adjusted via the crown – an unusually well-thought-out solution for its time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1578\" data-end=\"1975\"\u003eAesthetically, this model impresses with a strong presence on the wrist. The angular stainless steel case reflects the clear design language of the 1970s, while the dial shimmers from cool blue to deep petrol depending on the light. The applied indices, the framed day-date window, and the Cosmotron logo give the watch a high-quality, almost futuristic appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1977\" data-end=\"2203\"\u003eThe present catalog excerpt shows this model under the designation \u003cstrong data-start=\"2049\" data-end=\"2060\"\u003e0723-77\u003c\/strong\u003e with a selling price at the time of \u003cstrong data-start=\"2099\" data-end=\"2110\"\u003e¥18,000\u003c\/strong\u003e, which underlines its positioning in the upscale segment of Citizen's collection at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"9gggo5\" data-start=\"2210\" data-end=\"2221\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2223\" data-end=\"2572\"\u003eThe watch is in \u003cstrong data-start=\"2254\" data-end=\"2288\"\u003every good used condition\u003c\/strong\u003e. The dial is particularly well preserved and shows an attractive color effect. The case shows age-appropriate, overall moderate signs of wear, but retains its clear geometry.
