Vintage 1997 Citizen OXY Chronograph men’s quartz wristwatch, reference 0510-L16631 Y.


Distinctive late-1990s Citizen design featuring a black multi-level dial, three chronograph subdials, luminous square hour markers, tachymeter scale, date window at 3 o’clock, and polished stainless steel tonneau-style case.


Powered by the Citizen 0510A Japanese quartz chronograph movement. Watch is running and functioning properly, including chronograph functions, and has a good/new battery.


Currently fitted with a black leather strap with contrasting stitching and polished buckle. The leather strap appears to be an aftermarket replacement rather than the original Citizen bracelet.


Pre-owned vintage condition with visible scratches, marks and normal wear to the case and crystal consistent with age and use. Please review photos closely for cosmetic condition.


Watch only — no original box or papers included.
