Citizen Trans Continents Octagonal Dial

Today's watch is one of my more elegant watches. To me it has a very retro (1950s) feel with the large white numbers on the black face (and maybe the font helps with that feel too).

The watch is part of the Citizen Trans Continents range which has been produced since the late 90s and has produced watches with a travel and/or retro sci-fi feel. One of the recurring elements in the design has been a 1950s style space rocket, and this can be seen on the back end of the seconds hand.

It has a quartz powered 6329 movement with a 3-hand dial in an octagonal case. The face also has a day, date, and 24-hour dial. The mini dials are unusually placed at the 1:30, 4:30, and 7:30 positions, and the crown is also at the 1:30 position.

The strap on this watch is black leather, with a blue suede back, and there is a leather and suede patch behind the watch cade so that no metal touches your skin.

The full model number is 6329-S036011, and the watch was made in 2006.
