This is a superb Citizen Cosmotron from 1973 that screams 70s in its design on that dial which is epic!  Recently featured this watch on a rebuild video on my channel.  The new owner can see me work on the inner workings of their watch!
The Cosmotron came in many types but this one, the 7801 has a great feature, the flyback second hand.  A useful complication for accurate time setting and to use as a minute timer stopwatch perhaps?  I have never seen this feature on a 3 hander watch other than on chronographs.  Personally think it should be brought back as it offers another useful complication on a watch.
This model has been serviced by myself and is running very well on a new battery.  The hybrid balance movement keeps it accurate and reliable whist still presenting in a mainly mechanical watch. it has a new caseback gasket, crown gasket and new glass & battery.
Case and bracelet have been thoroughly cleaned ultrasonically and then the case has been lightly polished to bring back the shine. 
As its a vintage watch I would not recommend bathing or swimming with this piece so please take care of it.
The dial is amazing with vertical striping with a light blue center fading to dark at the applied indices.
Watch is all original including the genuine new old stock Citizen replacement crystal>
Bracelet fits my 7" wrist with one hole on the clasp ladder left.  Bracelet extenders are available in this store if you feel you need more to size.
