Will it fit? How to measure your wrist

Wrap a strip of paper or a soft tape snugly around your wrist, just below the wrist bone. Mark where it overlaps, then measure that length in centimetres.

If your wrist is the same as or smaller than the Max Wrist size above, it should fit. A watchmaker can usually shorten a vintage bracelet, but extra links are rarely available.

The StoryAbout This Piece

The bracelet settles on the pulse with the supple fluidity of woven silk, its high-polish gold surfaces catching the ambient light to create a rhythmic, flickering glow. The almond-shaped case, pinched at the poles by decorative “ribbon” lugs, feels like a deliberate ornamental choice rather than a mere timepiece. It carries a certain “Aurum” warmth that radiates against the skin, turning the simple act of checking the hour into a quiet, tactile indulgence.

Hailing from Citizen’s specialized “Elegance” boutique line, this 5420-series artifact is a masterclass in late-century Japanese miniaturization. While the quartz movement provides the relentless precision for which the Tokyo-based house is famous, the soul of the watch is found in its sculptural geometry. The “X” motif created by the lugs suggests a bridge between high-jewelry and functional design, a signature of an era where Citizen sought to reclaim the wrist as a site for artistic expression rather than just mechanical data.
