Citizen INDEPENDENT BA7-115-51 – Sporty JDM chronograph from the “Timeless Line” (new, unworn)

The Citizen INDEPENDENT BA7-115-51 is a modern quartz chronograph from the Timeless Line of the INDEPENDENT by Citizen brand, which is produced exclusively for the Japanese market.
It combines precise Japanese technology with a striking, timelessly sporty design and represents the independent style that Citizen has consciously positioned beyond the mainstream with this line.

The matte black dial with contrasting silver subdials, applied indices and surrounding tachymeter scale gives the model a clear technical look.
The solid stainless steel case and the finely crafted link bracelet with folding clasp ensure robustness and high wearing comfort – typical of Japanese precision work.

Inside, the proven Citizen caliber BA7 (Japan Mov't) is at work, a precise quartz movement with 12-hour chronograph, date display and high accuracy of ± 20 seconds per month.

Background on the INDEPENDENT brand

INDEPENDENT is a design and lifestyle brand of Citizen Watch Co. , founded in 1996 in Japan.
It represents an independent, urban style and is aimed at wearers who appreciate individuality, functionality and modern design .

While Citizen is known worldwide for classic watches and technical innovations, INDEPENDENT positions itself as a creative, design-oriented line – comparable to Seiko's WIRED series – and is available almost exclusively in Japan.
Within the collection, the Timeless Line represents the highest technical series, featuring stainless steel cases, chronograph movements and a clear design language.

These models were not intended for export and are therefore considered rarities outside Japan – prized by collectors of Japanese JDM watches for their high-quality workmanship and minimalist design.
