Citizen "Blackie" | September 1972, automatic, weird

Yep, more quirky watches.  And before I get reported to the secret police, "Blackie" is the actual nickname for this watch.  I didn't make it up.

Now that we have the disclaimers out of the way, let's talk about this piece.  It's made up of a big UFO shaped, black coated case that surrounds a bezel that I believe is tungsten.  The whole watch is designed to catch light (eat it C Ward).  The tungsten bezel is highly polished, the sapphire crystal is horizontally faceted (check the vid) and the dial has massive gold applied indices.

Let's talk about the strap (bracelet?).  I have never seen something like this in my life.  It's made of two solid pieces of metal and secures with a hinged pin that latches through one of four holes.  It's comfortable on me, but can likely be bent to better fit another wrist shape.  Will fit a wrist up to about 7".   

Condition is okay plus.  There are some bumps and scratches on the case, and some small scratches on the sapphire.
