Citizen Celebrates 50 Years of the Tsuno Chrono With a Special Anniversary Edition

It’s been five decades since Citizen first unveiled its original Tsuno Chrono watch to the world. In celebrating the model’s 50th anniversary, Citizen has prepared the Promaster Tsuno Chrono 50th Anniversary Edition, released in a limited run of 3,000 units only.

The anniversary edition pays tribute to the original “bullhead” variant from 1973, which was distinctively remembered for integrating the chronograph pushers on the top of the watch case. Its 45mm stainless steel case arrives in a golden hue, where it houses four black subdials in a bullhead aesthetic. Each of the subdials is outfitted with red hands that offer a sporty touch to the timepiece’s overall retro vibe.

Inside the Tsuno Chrono Racer’s robust exteriors beats Citizen’s very own E210 caliber, a unique and hand-assembled Eco-Drive movement that is capable of powering the watch with up to 8 months of power reserve, on top of a water resistance of 300 meters. Aligning with the watch’s vintage-inspired mood, it comes accompanied by a brown leather strap and a tonal clasp as fastening.

Retailing for $1,195 USD, the Promaster Tsuno Chrono Racer 50th Anniversary Edition comes packaged inside a sturdy-looking golden Promaster case. For those who are interested, head over to Citizen’s official website to purchase or enquire more about the time-teller.
