Seiko Frequency model II - globe edition B010-4000

Today is one of Seiko's unusual designs - the Seiko Frequency. The Frequency was released in the late 90s as a club watch (for DJs, ravers, or musicians) . The unusual feature is that the watch has a built in drum machine with six drum loops, as well as both a sound and light metronome. The drum loops were composed by Tetsuya "TK" Komuro, who is a J-Pop star and a pioneer of Japanese electronic dance. The watch shown is the model II, Globe version (-Globe being one of TK's brands), and shows the text "globe" instead of "rhythm" on the display. TK's symbol is also imprinted on the back of the watch.

Other features include a chronograph, and an alarm function (for those who like to be woken by the beat of a drum).

The watch model number is B010-4000
The second picture is one of the original 1999 adverts (found on the web) showing the watches (model I) and TK himself.
