Company:
Citizen Watch Co., Ltd. is a Japanese watchmaking company that was founded in 1918 as the Shokosha Watch Research Institute. Citizen features watches that are light -powered (Eco-Drive Movement), are radio-controlled, and some that have unique three-prong quartz movements for increased accuracy.

Review:
The Citizen Eagle 7 is an affordable, classic vintage watch produced by Citizen. The watches employ a robust 21 Jewel Miyota 8200 movement, which is popular for its accuracy and minimal servicing need. The watches themselves were produced  in an array of dial colors, bezels, and bracelets (as shown from the pictures), with some (particularly those with the fluted bezels) taking inspiration from the Rolex Datejust. Most Citizen Eagle 7s have a day date complication at the 3 O'clock position,  the Citizen logo at the 12 O'clock position, and some iteration of an eagle logo with a 7 and "21 jewels" at the 6 O'clock position (some specific watches may be missing parts of this inscription). ​

The watches are relatively small by today's standards at 36mm, but they have a classic design (reminiscent of the Datejust) and thus can be worn casually or formally. The condition and price of the watches vary from sellers - most of these watches can only be found on Ebay, Etsy, or a watch-specific website such as Chrono24. However, the quality of the watches is high, as evidenced by the fact that many were made in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and are still working well today. Due to its timeless design, style, reliable movement, and affordability (most of the watches sold now are in used condition), the Citizen Eagle 7 is recommended by Lion's Stationers. The pricing shown indicates the approximate price per watch. They can be purchased from the following vendors, and some of the watches pictured in this review may be sold by Lion Stationers on Ebay at a later date:
