Citizen Series 8 Cattleya 870 GMT CC9080 (CC9080, Cattleya CC9080). Current Prices, JDM Listings, Market Analysis
The Citizen Series 8 Cattleya 870 GMT CC9080 is a JDM-oriented dress watch from Citizen's upper-tier Series 8 lineup, carrying the Cattleya sub-designation and GMT complication that set it apart from standard Series 8 references. Tonbo tracks this model because GMT-equipped JDM Citizen pieces tend to move unevenly across markets, creating periodic gaps between Japan sell-through prices and US resale values. The CC9080 currently sits at a US median of $1,200, placing it in a tier where condition and completeness have an outsized effect on what a given example actually closes for. Data on this reference is limited, so buyers and sellers should treat all figures here as directional rather than definitive.
Current US Market Value
The current US median price for the Citizen Series 8 Cattleya 870 GMT CC9080 is $1,200, with the middle half of observed transactions ranging from $1,000 to $1,500. That $500 spread is wide relative to the median, which tells you that individual examples vary considerably in how they present and how motivated sellers are. It is important to note that this estimate is built on a sample size of five transactions, and the comp source is flagged as a category estimate rather than a tight reference-specific dataset. Tonbo marks this comp quality as 🟠Estimate only. The CC9080 price you see quoted in any given listing should be weighed against that context. Until more closed-sale data accumulates for this exact reference, the $1,200 figure is a reasonable anchor but not a firm floor or ceiling.
Active JDM Listings
There are no active JDM listings for the Citizen Series 8 Cattleya 870 GMT CC9080 captured within the past 14 days. Japanese market supply for this reference appears thin at the moment, which can reflect genuine scarcity, seasonal slowdowns in platform activity, or simply timing. When examples of the CC9080 for sale do appear in Japan, they typically surface on the major Japanese used-watch platforms that Tonbo monitors. Key things to note about the current listing environment:
- No active Japan-side listings have been detected in the past two weeks
- Thin supply windows can shift quickly, especially for lower-volume JDM references
- When listings do appear, box-and-papers status and band condition are the primary price drivers for this tier
- GMT complications on JDM Citizen models attract a buyer pool that includes both collectors and travelers, which can create short bursts of demand
- Monitoring alerts rather than checking manually is the most reliable way to catch CC9080 listings when they surface
Recent Alert History
No strict or opportunity alerts have fired for the Citizen Series 8 Cattleya 870 GMT CC9080 in the past 90 days. This is consistent with the low listing volume described above. The absence of alerts does not mean the model lacks value as a target. It means the conditions that would trigger a signal, typically a Japan-side listing priced materially below the US market median, have not materialized recently. Buyers who are actively pursuing this reference should have alerts in place rather than waiting for a manual check to catch something.

Japan vs. US Price Gap
The US-Japan price gap for JDM Citizen references like the CC9080 is typically driven by lower domestic recognition in Japan for upper-tier Citizen models relative to their actual quality and complication level, combined with the friction of cross-border purchasing that keeps casual US buyers from accessing Japan-side inventory directly. When a well-priced example does appear in Japan, the landed cost after shipping, import duties, and any intermediary fees still needs to clear the US market range to make the trade worth executing. The primary risk factor here is comp thinness. With only five data points shaping the US price estimate and the GMT Cattleya designation adding a layer of reference-specific complexity, there is real uncertainty about where a given example will close. Buyers should also account for condition variance, since Cattleya-series pieces in this price tier can range from near-mint to heavily worn, and that spread maps directly onto the $1,000 to $1,500 range observed.
