Citizen Tsuno Chrono AN3714-76W Watch
The Citizen Tsuno Chrono AN3714-76W is one of the pieces in Record Label, Citizen's archive line that recovers its historical designs. Its reference is the 1973 Challenge Timer, the chronograph that popularised the bullhead format: pushers and crown on the upper part of the case. This version of the Gradation series brings that silhouette back with a green gradient dial, a black bezel and a silver-tone steel case.
The case is stainless steel, 38 mm in diameter and 11.7 mm thick, with a weight of 98 g. The bezel is black and the case is silver-tone steel. The crystal is spherical mineral and water resistance is 5 ATM (50 m). The movement is quartz, 0510 caliber, with an accuracy of ±20 seconds per month and a battery life of approximately 2 years. The bracelet is stainless steel and is mounted with standard 18 mm spring bars, not integrated: it can be replaced with a leather strap or another material of the same width. The clasp is a sliding clasp with safety catch.
The dial is green gradient: the centre is a lighter green that darkens towards the outside. The chronograph sub-dials are matching green, blending into the gradient. The chronograph hands complete the ensemble without breaking the chromatic harmony of the dial. The pushers on the upper part are not an aesthetic detail: they require a different gesture when operating the chronograph, with the thumb instead of the index finger.
The bullhead design is not handled like a conventional chronograph: the thumb operates the upper pushers without releasing the wrist, and the green gradient of the dial guides the reading of the chronograph from the centre towards the outside. The 38 mm case and the steel bracelet keep the whole compact, without the bulk of a diving chronograph. It is an archive piece, but meant to be worn, and the standard spring bar mounting makes it easy to change the bracelet for a strap if a different look is sought.

Why choose this watch?
Green gradient dial
The light green centre that darkens towards the outside is not only aesthetic: it creates a gradient that guides the reading of the chronograph. The sub-dials, in a matching green tone, blend into that depth, while the chronograph hands remain legible against the background.
Bullhead design: pushers on top, chronograph at the thumb
The layout of the pushers on the upper part of the case is the hallmark of the Tsuno Chrono. It is not a conventional chronograph: the thumb operates the chronograph without releasing the wrist, a gesture inherited from the dashboard chronographs of the 1970s.
Frequently asked questions
What is a green gradient dial?
It is a dial where the colour is not uniform: the centre is a lighter green and darkens towards the outside. The chronograph sub-dials are matching green, so they blend into the gradient. The chronograph hands are designed to remain legible against the green background.
Can the bracelet be replaced with a leather strap?
Yes. The bracelet is mounted with standard 18 mm spring bars, not integrated. An 18 mm leather strap will fit without adapters. The original bracelet can be stored and refitted when the steel look is wanted again.
Is it a diving watch?
No. It has 5 ATM (50 m) water resistance, which covers splashes, rain and hand washing, but it is not certified for diving. It is an archive chronograph, not an instrumental dive watch.
