1979 Citizen Movement Table

The following table is taken from the 1979 Citizen watch catalog. I have translated the original Japanese feature labels for reference. Images of the original catalog pages are included at the bottom of this page.

The “release date” column references years of the Shōwa period (from 1926) plus a number of months. For example, “43.3” corresponds to March, 1968 in the Western Gregorian calendar, while “51.3” corresponds to March, 1976.

Citizen organizes its movements into “Series”, which represent related movements in a “family.” Within a series, different movements are used in different watch models and have unique caliber numbers. These caliber numbers are more familiar to Citizen watch enthusiasts, such as the famous Cal. 8200 which gave us the Cal. 82 series that remains in production to this day by Citizen subsidiary, Miyota.

Citizen specifies the oscillation rate of their movements in Hertz (“Frequency / Second” in the table):
