Notes

Graceful, understated, and beautifully engineered, this Citizen Cosmostar V2 represents an era when Japanese manufacturers competed not only on reliability but also on refinement. The silver sunburst dial reflects light elegantly, while the compact integrated case design gives the watch a distinctly 1970s aesthetic that remains stylish decades later. Its clean layout and balanced proportions make it a versatile vintage piece that can still be worn comfortably today.

One of the most interesting details is the “Super Beat” designation on the dial. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Citizen used the Super Beat name for mechanical watches featuring higher beat-rate movements than many standard watches of the period. These movements were designed to provide smoother seconds-hand motion and improved timekeeping stability. The Cosmostar series also demonstrated Citizen’s commitment to producing high-quality automatic movements for ladies’ watches at a time when many manufacturers reserved their best engineering primarily for men’s models.
