A particularly fine, elegant-classic face with a vintage pocket watch feel.

A sought-after original part for collectors, watchmakers and restorers who want to authentically restore a Citizen Club La Mer with calibre 3480 and small seconds.

Background: Citizen "Club La Mer"

The Club La Mer line was introduced by Citizen in 1984 and positioned with the slogan "Urban Traditional for Exciting Professionals" as a sophisticated, classically elegant collection (partly with 925 silver cases). Today, the line is sought after by lovers of vintage Japanese watches. Calibre 3480 is an analogue quartz movement with small seconds - a rarer and particularly attractive configuration for collectors compared to the common central seconds dials.
