I have kept an eye out for them but have not really seen any for sale in Singapore and my attention was still focused on Seiko 4S watches at that time. Stumbling on Stephen’s blog some years back was the first that I have ever known that Citizen came out with high grade watches, competing directly with Seiko in the same target market. We have also been corresponding with regards to my Chrono Master and he has been very forthcoming in sharing his expertise and knowledge for all Citizen related information. I need to first thank Stephen of the for his excellent article which is probably the most comprehensive go-to location for all details on the Citizen Chrono Masters which anyone can find on the web today. A likely reason for this is because Seiko not only continued its focus on high end mechanical watches today, but it likely produced many more variety of watches between its 2 companies in the past which led to much greater diversity of vintage Seikos and hence recognition among watch collectors today. Nevertheless, Seiko’s offerings, namely the Grand Seiko and King Seiko, are hugely more renowned and popular these days compared to that of the Citizen and Orient high grade watches. Citizen had its Chrono Master range of watches and Orient had their Royal Orient range of watches that were on par with whatever Seiko had to offer at the top of its range. In the 60s and 70s, Seiko was not the only Japanese watch company capable of producing watches capable of competing with the Swiss timepieces.
