AU14081\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the early 1960s, Citizen developed the \"AutoDater Uni\" series to combine durability and functionality for everyday use in a single platform. This series distinguished itself with designs that improved both the automatic winding system and water resistance standards, in line with the urban user profile of the time. With its 40M ParaWater feature, balanced dial layout, and robust case, the Ref. AU14081 you see here is a very clean example of Citizen's engineering approach during that transitional period. Its excellent condition, preserved over the years, makes it a remarkable collector's item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase: The stainless steel case is designed with a strong form retention and distinct linear surfaces, reflecting the period. The satin-finished edges are prominent, harmoniously placed within the curved acrylic glass structure. The case diameter provides a compact presence on the hand and wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlass: Highly curved acrylic glass reflects the character of the period. Its soft refraction of light significantly enhances the sense of depth, especially in light-toned dials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDial: A silver-toned sunburst surface, combined with baton indices, creates a simple yet contemporary look for its time. The date window at 3 o'clock is legible with its framed structure. The fonts perfectly match Citizen's 1960s character, and the finishes are crisp and clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMovement: Citizen Cal. UNI automatic movement - 17 jewels. Serial number: 40102998. One of the simple, service-friendly, and durable movements of the period. The rotor is clean, the bridge surfaces are smooth, and it operates reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrap: New, brown alligator-patterned leather strap. Simple and clean, in keeping with the classic look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003cbr\u003eReference: AU14081\u003cbr\u003eYear of Manufacture: 1964 (according to the Citizen system)\u003cbr\u003eThickness: 12 mm\u003cbr\u003eLug-to-Lug: Compact size appropriate to its time\u003cbr\u003eGlass: Domed acrylic\u003cbr\u003eMovement: Cal.
