Citizen Chronograph Speedy Ref. 67-9313, Cal. 8110A, 1973

Citizen Chronograph Speedy Ref. 67-9313, Cal. 8110A, circa 1973

This Citizen Chronograph Speedy Ref. 67-9313 is one of the most collectible Japanese automatic chronographs of the 1970s. Powered by Citizen’s in-house Cal. 8110A automatic flyback chronograph movement, this model combines strong technical appeal with the bold design language that made Japanese chronographs from this era so distinctive.

With its black dial, outer tachymeter scale, stainless steel case, day-date display and automatic chronograph movement, this Citizen “Speedy” has the look and function of a serious vintage sports chronograph. It is a watch with real mechanical interest, strong wrist presence and clear collector appeal.

Citizen Speedy Ref. 67-9313

The Ref. 67-9313 is often nicknamed the Citizen “Speedy” because of its sporty chronograph layout and external tachymeter-style bezel design. The watch has a purposeful 1970s case shape with a mix of polished and brushed surfaces, giving it a strong but wearable vintage presence.

The black dial gives the watch a sharp and highly legible appearance. The chronograph registers, bold hour markers, day-date window and outer scale create a technical look without losing balance. It is a design that feels very much connected to the golden age of Japanese mechanical chronographs.

Automatic Flyback Chronograph Cal. 8110A

Inside the watch is Citizen’s Cal. 8110A, an automatic chronograph movement and one of the brand’s most respected vintage calibers. The movement is especially interesting because it includes a flyback chronograph function, allowing the chronograph to be reset and restarted quickly.

The Cal. 8110A also offers day and date indication, manual winding and a high-beat frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. These features make it technically impressive for its period and help explain why Citizen 8110A chronographs are highly regarded by collectors today.

Estimated Production Year: circa 1973

This watch is best dated to circa 1973 based on the Citizen Ref. 67-9313 model, the Cal. 8110A automatic chronograph movement and the design language of the case and dial. The 8110A family belongs to Citizen’s important 1970s chronograph production, placing this watch firmly in that era.

As a 1970s Citizen chronograph, this watch can also be appreciated as a birth year watch, anniversary piece or collector’s item connected to the early 1970s.

Condition and Vintage Character

This is a vintage watch with age, history and character. The product photos show the exact piece offered, including the front view, dial close-up, case sides, movement, caseback, strap detail, crown and lug details. Please review all images carefully, as they form an important part of the description.

Any visible signs of age or previous use should be understood as part of the watch’s vintage identity. The appeal of this piece lies not only in its appearance, but also in its original 1970s chronograph engineering and Japanese mechanical watchmaking heritage.

Why This Citizen Chronograph Stands Out

This Citizen stands out because it combines several desirable features in one watch: the collectible Ref. 67-9313 “Speedy” design, black dial, automatic Cal. 8110A movement, flyback chronograph function and day-date display.

For collectors, the 8110A is one of Citizen’s most important vintage chronograph movements. For everyday vintage wear, the watch offers a strong sports-chronograph look with practical automatic operation and a distinctive 1970s personality.

A Collectible Japanese Vintage Chronograph
