The shape of today's watch may be familiar to those who've followed my blog for a while, but the model is new!
This watch is called the Frozen Wani and was released in 1999 as part of the collaboration between the design company Cabane de Zucca, and Seiko. The collaboration began in 1995 when the fashion label began to branch out into watches, and is still going on with new models still being released.
The watch design is the same as the alligator watch from the 1998 Safari Zoo range, but this version comes in a transparent blue/white material. The watch strap is textured like an alligators skin, and there is an alligator head cover which slides over the buckle, giving the impression that the alligator is eating its own tail around your wrist!
The watch uses a Seiko W240 module with a red Z incorporated into the el-backlight. The display is a 2-line LCD with date and day on the top, and time (6 digits + am/pm marker), with all digits leaning towards the right. Mode-wise, the watch has stopwatch (with pace setting mode), timer, and alarm.
The full model number is W240-4120, and the catalogue number is AWAB009. It was originally on sale for 15,000 yen.
