Writer Damon Bailey goes deep into the history of the watch, and contextualizes it properly in the very volatile horological landscape that was the early 1980s.
I don't have much photo I can attach to this blog for the Ana-Digi, but I will update it once I could locate some, and use this a place to store my findings.Before we get to the new version of the Ana-Digi Temp, I highly recommend that you head over to Two Broke Watch Snobs and check out this post for a detailed and well researched account of how the watch came to be. Real leather at 1.5mm thickness, leather loop instead of metal one, and one pin hole only, it's made for me after all. So, to make myself more comfortable for my first straps, I made a nato. However, we do believe it came on straps or nato. This watch I don't have a photo showing it's original form, thus I can't tell whether it came with a bracelet or straps. Yes, the very first strap made by myself. To celebrate its arrival, for the very first time, I made a nato strap for it. I definitely won't pass it on to anyone else, it's such a masterpiece. And I am extremely pleased Seth is willing to let me having it. With the 8989 as the power train inside, yet keeping all the dials and hands preserved, now this could possibly be among the best ADT you can find right now.
So finally, this watch is totally restored by Seth. Thus not many of these, which were still running, would be in the used market. My thought was, in the later days before the ADT was discontinued, not too many of these watches were sold near the millennium. As told by him, it is sort of difficult to locate this module. Good news was, Seth told me he found a solution for it, was to replace the main module with a newer, better, and more reliable one, which is a 8989. As soon as Seth showing me this, I knew it, it's going to be mine. He definitely needs some time sorting this out. However, the original 8982 module wasn't functioning correctly. He told me this is one rare bird, in an almost NOS condition. Seth Clary, who is an expert in servicing these Citizen, knew my want on such a unit. Some time ago I decided to have at least one of these, I want a special one, not a typical one you see out there, even though those are equally stunning, there's gotta be one that really stands out or what I want, a rare one. Almost all the subsequent models kept all these layouts, nothing had been left out. The most iconic characteristic of this series, is definitely the ever busy dial, that features two analog dials, two digital displays, and a mode indicator panel. It is one legendary watch by Citizen released in the '80s. So, here's my first Citizen Ana-Digi Temp.
