Citizen Thunder Bird JDM Pilot Chronograph 0S80-0512 Vintage Watch

For sale is a cool, vintage Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) Citizen Thunder Bird Pilot Chronograph (Ref. 0S80-0512 / 92-9989) from the 90's — a rugged aviation-styled quartz tool watch from Citizen's Japan-market Thunder Bird line. Built in the spirit of the classic Nighthawk/Navihawk series, it packs a rotating E6B aviation slide-rule bezel, nautical/statute mile and MPH navigation scales, a 1/20-second stopwatch, and an integrated daily alarm into a sharp blackk-dial sports case. Please note: the original stainless steel bracelet is currently sized small and fits wrists up to 6.5 inches (no extra links included, though it can also easily be swapped onto a leather or nylon strap). This Thunder Bird is in great pre-owned shape overall with a clean crystal, crisp dial and bezel markings, and light normal handling wear. A fresh battery was installed a few months ago, and the watch is running strong with all chronograph, alarm, and date functions working properly – finally getting around to finding it a good home :) Key Specifications: • Case: Stainless steel with screw-down caseback (0S80 / 0512 / 92-9989), right-side chrono pushers and crown, plus 8 o'clock alarm pusher • Dial: Black with bold luminous Arabic numerals, winged TB emblem and date at 3 o'clock, ALARM and WATER RESIST 10BAR text, and 3 sub-dials (12 o'clock chrono minutes, 9 o'clock chrono hours + alarm ON/OFF indicator, 6 o'clock small seconds / 1/20-sec counter) • Bezel: Bidirectional rotating aviation slide-rule bezel with compass headings and inner MPH / nautical / statute mile scales • Movement: Japanese Miyota (Citizen) Caliber 0S80 quartz — 1/20-second chronograph (up to 12 hours), daily alarm, and date • Crystal: Mineral crystal • Water Resistance: 100 meters / 10 bar • Bracelet: Original brushed stainless steel bracelet with fold-over clasp — sized for wrists only up to 6.5 inches • Included: Watch and box in photo I’m a Citizen watch enthusiast, specifically, so every Citizen watch that I list has been verified by me to be authentic, as well as has been verified by me to be working as originally intended.
