Citizen
Quartz Date Cream Dial
1980s · Quartz
Ref. 5510-554473
A round, honest, beautifully proportioned dress watch. The cream dial has the slightly warm tone that only age can give, set off by applied baton markers and a neat date window at three. The thin gold-tone case sits flat against the wrist, and the clean layout makes it endlessly versatile — jeans, suit or summer linen. This is the kind of vintage piece that becomes your everyday watch without you even noticing.

DM on InstagramThe story behind it
Citizen's 5510 calibre family was part of the brand's 1980s range of reliable date-quartz movements — the workhorses that put an accurate, affordable watch on millions of wrists around the world.
During this period Citizen was investing heavily in in-house manufacturing, producing everything from the quartz crystals to the hands and dials. This 'manufacture' approach, rare among Japanese and Swiss brands alike, is why vintage Citizens are still running smoothly decades later.
Round cream-dial dress watches like this were designed as timeless pieces rather than fashion statements — which is exactly why they look as good today as they did when they left the factory in Japan.

Cream dial in very good condition, date changes crisply. Gold-tone case with light wear on the bezel edge. Case back stamped 5510-554473, water resist, base metal. New battery fitted.
