Citizen Independent Automatic part skeleton cal-8225

Today was another opportunity to wear a smart watch, so I thought it was time to go back to the Citizen Independent line of watches.

The Citizen Independent line are a set of high fashion watches aimed at young people.

This watch is one of the mechanical watches from that line, and has an automatic 8225 movement. On the dial, there is a round window at the 4:30 position which gives a view of the movement inside. It is a 3 hand dial, but the second hand is on a second spindle, and is centred in the middle of the round window. The back of the watch also has a glass panel where you can see the rotating weight for winding the mechanism.

The watch has a model number of 8225-002895, and a catalogue number of ITX21-5123. It was out in the 2000s (around 2008), and had a price around the 35,000 yen mark.
