An Authorised Stockist is strictly limited to any genuine retailer that has purchased the product directly from Citizen Watches Australia or from an Authorised Distributor of Citizen Watches Australia within the above-mentioned markets.

Any watch purchased from any stockist or reseller other than from the above-mentioned territories falls outside this five (5) year warranty term and therefore falls under the first one (1) year limitedinternational warranty term.

This five (5) year warranty is only recognised and honoured by Citizen Authorised Service Centres operating within the above-mentioned territories. Citizen Authorised Service Centres located in other parts of the world will only provide a warranty service under a one (1) year limitedinternational warranty, being one year from the original date of purchase.

A Citizen Branded watch is limited to any of the following:

• Citizen Eco Drive;
• Citizen Quartz;
• Citizen Promaster; and
• Citizen Automatic.

To certify that the watch you have purchased was supplied by an Authorised Stockist of Citizen Watches Australia, a genuine and numbered Warranty Card that resembles the following is included with your purchase and can be repaired by any member of the Citizen Worldwide Service Network within its associated warranty period from the original date of purchase. However, the five-year warranty remains only in the markets referred to above as the limited one-year warranty applies in all other locations.

COMPLETING YOUR WARRANTY CARD:
When completing your warranty card, the card must be filled out in its entirety with the retailer’s details and date of purchase. You will also need the Calibre/Case Number and Serial Numberwhich are located on your watch purchased and the Model Number.

If a watch exhibits a defect in workmanship or material that is not a major failure, Citizen will, at its option, either regulate, adjust, repair or replace any defective component(s) as necessary within a reasonable time after the watch is returned and received by an Authorised Service Centre during the warranty period.

As a condition to this warranty obligation, proof of the original purchase transaction (i.e. Proof of Purchase) or the Warranty Card filled in by the Authorised Retailer from whom the watch was purchased and must accompany the watch when presented for any warranty repair.

For a warranty repair, you must forward or present the watch to one of the Citizen Authorised Service Centres which are located in the official Citizen Watches Australia website at: Service Centres.
