CITIZEN MOVEMENT TABLE 1931 to 1977 The following movement table summarises the development of mechanical, electro-mechanical and tuning fork wrist watches from the establishment of the Citizen Watch Company in 1931, to 1977. Data has been gleaned largely from reliable Japanese text sources, so there is some scope for error in interpretation Not all movements / models / variants may be listed – others will be added once verified in later versions of the Table. Notes: a) Movements and their respective watch models / variants are entered in chronological order by year of production b) Where information is missing or is not fully confirmed / clear a '?' is entered or follows the data entry c) Model variants / dial markings – markings may be one, or a combination, of the entered data d) 'Phynox', 'Parashock' and 'Parawater' became typical markings so they are not routinely entered in the table beyond the early models e) Where model variants include a water resistant case the depth rating marked on the dial is entered in the dial markings column, e.g. '40m' f) 'Features' are confined to obvious visible characteristics, e.g. date window, to aid identification Serial Numbers & Production Year – in the 1960's Citizen began to use serial numbers from which the production date can be determined.
