Citizen Exceed — The classic elegance of a two-tone Japanese dress watch
This Citizen vintage Exceed, produced around 1990, illustrates the refinement of the high-end line of Citizen. Far from the utilitarian image sometimes associated with the brand, the Exceed range embodies its most dress-oriented side: carefully crafted dress watches, designed to rival prestige timepieces. This example, with its round and classic silhouette, is a perfect illustration.
The cream dial, warm and luminous, is punctuated by black Roman numerals and discreet gold-tone dots at the intervals — a composition of deliberate classicism, timeless and elegant. The slim gold-tone hands further emphasize this refined readability. The "Exceed" signature and the "Citizen Quartz" mention complete this highly legible dial.
The two-tone round case, in steel enhanced by a gold-tone bezel, plays the card of understated elegance. With its ultra-thin 5mm profile, it slips effortlessly under a shirt cuff, true to the vocation of dress watches. The two-tone steel and gold bracelet with links, extending the case, reinforces this precious contrast between the coolness of steel and the warmth of gold. Driven by a reliable Citizen quartz movement, this watch combines refinement and everyday practicality.
With its 31mm diameter in a dress and classic format, this vintage Citizen watch offers a versatile silhouette, ideal for both men's and women's wrists seeking a premium Japanese dress watch that is understated and refined. An authentic Japanese watch from the high-end line of Citizen, selected and serviced by Atelier Victor. Fast and secure international shipping.
