This particular case and dial variant of the Hi-Beat 7720 Leopard is one of the more unique designs that Citizen produced in the early 70s. The chunky, square case and double domed crystal wears larger on the wrist than watches typical of the early 70s and would be an excellent choice for someone looking for a bigger vintage watch. Additionally, and as is typical of many Leopard cases, Citizen has opted for a special profile crystal. It’s thick and double domed to reinforce the watches bold look.
