A 1994 Citizen Exceed, vertically striped champagne dial and integrated bracelet
The steel case, with cut angles, measures 27mm wide and 6mm thick, with a 29mm Lug-to-lug. A dark bevel surrounds the dial and highlights its outline; the gold-tone crown is set into the side at 3 o'clock. The bracelet continues the case without interruption. The caseback is steel.
The champagne dial is striped with fine vertical lines. Gold-tone baton markers mark the hours, doubled at 12 o'clock; the gold-tone hands and fine centre seconds are legible against this light background. The Exceed signature occupies the top of the dial, the Citizen Quartz mention the bottom. Dial and hands are original.
Exceed is Citizen's line of dress watches. This piece is powered by the Citizen 2730 calibre, a quartz movement with centre seconds; the serial number engraved on the caseback places production in July 1994.
The watch has retained its original steel bracelet, integrated into the case, with articulated links highlighted by gold-tone lines; its clasp bears a gold-tone medallion. It adjusts to a wrist of approximately 16.5cm. At 27mm wide and 6mm thick, it can be worn on a women's wrist as well as on a slim men's wrist.
