Citizen quartz replacement module

[Si]

Hi all

This well-worn little Citizen is of great sentimental value to my partner. It is going through batteries at a fair rate so I’ve been investigating whether a new movement might be a possibility. I have asked Citizen UK who say the movement is obsolete and none are available.

I don’t know anything about Citizen movement and model numbers - which is which out of all the codes etc. on the dial and caseback, photos below? Is 2951 the module code?This might help me search watch material places on there off-chance I might find one. Or Ebay perhaps?

How best to proceed with this watch? One option is to just keep putting batteries in until it gives up completely, I suppose, and I may have to do that.

Try vintage time australia. This guy is a vintage citizen and seiko guy and might be able to source one.

Open it up and see what the movement is. Chances are that there's a miyota available as a drop-in. There's dozens of different sizes available on Cousin's.

Thanks both.

I shall try Vintage Time.

In the meantime, I have been in contact with a watchmaker (Simon Gould) who feels it is likely that he can source a suitable replacement module, but would like to have the watch in front of him. That’s my next port of call, I think.

Is 2951 the movement ID?

If it helps, it looks similar to this JDM one, which is fitted with calibre 4630 https://citizen.jp/locus/product/130.html

They did a whole range with that branding on the dial: "Club La Mer. Urban Traditional - for exciting professionals”

I get it, but I think they should have consulted on that one :-)

Thanks Tokyo Tokei. It’s a pity I can’t see the dial and back numbers on that one.

I’m sure the movement ID must be one of the codes on the dial or back of mine, which don’t include 4630, but if it was a 4630 a suitable replacement is easily found:

From there I tried 2951, and there is a Miyota that sounds as if it might fit:

Although the info isn’t too clear:

Movement Interchange
Bulova 2971, 6491.17
Citizen 1100 old version dial feet and hands are different, 2038, 2951, 5930
Miyota 2Y51 dial feet are different

2951 is the calibre identifier, 295901 Y is the case type identifier.

Thanks Mitch.

In that case, by my understanding of all the preceding, this is what is required:
