Just follow the instruction on the label on the back of the watch cover as shown.


You can set-up yourself in less than 5 miniutes. No need to send to Citizen Service Centre.


I have done these three times already. The battery can last about 4 years.

Citizen's Minute Repeater

This is a good piece of watch, only if you do not mind it was made of Electronics. Well, a cheapest mechanical Repeater is selling at least HKD$500,000.00. This is only 5% of it when I bought it in 1992. Recently Citizen produces a new repeater but so thick that you do not want to buy!
It is A Limited Production from Citizen, Perpetual Calendar. For the music tone is absolutely no mechanical watch can produce… it is crystal clear and loud enough to wake you up!! As it is generated by 16 bit music tone generator IC chip, water proof, Super accurate.. Just one thing, it take 30 minutes to replace the battery, it has to go through series of set-up before the watch can be used. I taught the repair man to replace the battery as the Japanese had problem in writing clear English instruction on the back of the bottom cover. I doubt Citizen dealer also had to scratch their head to replace battery and they may charge you HKD$400 for such a battery of 20 dollars.
Anyway, I am a poor snob, but at least I have a Minute Repeater!! How Can you do not have an repeater and calling yourself a Watch Collector… Don’t mock at me Mr. Rich coz I am just a honest little staff in a big Company… my monthly income is a disgrace!

Minute Repeater for Citizen

Citizen Minute Repeater

This is Longines VHP calibre


This is a quartz Watch, from Citizen, it was produces in About 1992. The first Repeater made by Citizen. It is a very Accurate quartz watch, perpetual Calandar, Minute Pepeater is the key selling point, Beleived to have Limited production as it was expensive.. I means in terms of Citizen normal price tag.


People laughs at me saying all quartz watch tell the same time, I am trying to say that all quartz watch are not same, as the accuracy of a quartz watch is muchly depends on the quartz vibration frequency itself, normally they are electronically tested and selected for different grades. For example a quartz with 15 ppm (15 ppm means that their toleraenace is 15 parts per million) will have about +/- 1 second a day. (1 second/3600 seconds x24 hours= 1/86,400= 11.57 ppm). However the quartz has certain drift over change of temperature, so there are type of negative quatz that are being used as to counter-zero the temperature changes positively.

Longinese has produces the VHP series using dual quartz concept made for better accuracy.

In 1984 - Longines introduced the very first VHP: Longines Conquest VHP (VHP = Very High Precision) with the famous dual-oscillator Cal.276.2 movement (jointly developed by Longines and AsuLab). That movement used digital thermocompensation (inhibition) and was rated for +/-10 seconds/year. It had lithium battery. This very first VHP movement did not have digital calibration terminal!

Can your quartz tell time at an accuracy of 0.33 second a month!?

The Citizen Repeater is on Sales! HKD$3,800.00
