The Citizen Eagle 7 was a direct, competitor to the Seiko 5's in the 1980s to 90's for entry-level automatics. This Day-Date variant, reference 4-R07531 RW, captures the era's maximalist design ethos perfectly. Note the octagonal case geometry and integrated bracelet — inspired by high-end design language. Powering the watch is a reliable Miyota 8200 atomatic movement with a day and date feature. A collector’s piece for those appreciating the period’s distinct, angular aesthetic.
Founded in 1918 as the Shokosha Watch Research Institute, its core identity was solidified in 1976 with the invention of the world's first light-powered analog quartz watch. This technology evolved into Eco-Drive, a proprietary system that converts any light source into energy, effectively eliminating the need for battery replacements and becoming the brand's technological cornerstone.
Citizen is a true manufacture that produces its own components, including the robust and ubiquitous Miyota mechanical movements used by countless third-party brands. This industrial self-sufficiency allows Citizen to dominate the market for accessible, technologically advanced, and highly reliable timepieces.
