The design is conspicuous. It is familiar. But no, it's not a Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox. It's a Citizen Alarm watch. I featured one of these previously that had a mother of pearl dial that may be a little on the fancy side for some. I personally prefer this more 'regular' version of the watch.

I like wearing the watch as it is both classy and practical (alarm-wise). This one's another definite keeper. Here is the watch after the recent strap change - a custom gator. I have a suki for my watch straps who makes excellent leather straps. Two One Four Straps is on Facebook.

While I don't have a photo of the movement, I have timed the watch and on a full wind it averages 45.5 hours. Not bad for a vintage watch. It also keeps time so as long as its wound (with enough power stored) then it will give accurate-enough time to the user.
