Description
The Citizen 5330A is a direct relative to the
caliber 2340A,
to which it adds a date indication with quickset mechanism (by pulling the crown). This combination
(tiny form movement, center second and date indication) is seen only on very few movements, and
so, the 5330A is a little speciality.
Some of the numbers on the date ring are so tiny, that they can't be identified with pure
eyes. But to use the available space of the date window as optimal as possible, the numbers
differ in their size. Mainly, when one of the digits is a "1", the other digit is printed
very wide.
