I still haven't covered all of the different models in the Citizen Independent 1481010 collection, and today is another new one. The Citizen Independent 1481010 line was released in the late 90s as a set of high fashion watches for young people. More about this range can be found on my overview page (link).
This watch is the same design as my first Citizen Independent 1481010 watch, and is one of the more striking designs in the collection.
It is an Ana-Digi watch with both LCD and electronic dial time display. The LCD display has two lines that appear to slope backwards (the digits are narrower at the top and slant towards an imaginary point). In this model, the LCD is an inverse blue LCD panel. The dial is electronically controlled and can be set differently than the LCD display. There is also a small LCD display with 10 blocks that fill and empty with the seconds. The module is a C351 which was also used in another different design in the 1481010 range. It gives the watch 2 alarms, a chronograph, and a timer function. The watch also has a curved one piece metal strap giving the watch a futuristic shiny design.
This version is a collaboration with the clothing brand Chipie, with their name above the display and etched into the back. The clothing brand has been making girls/women's clothing since around 1972, starting with jeans and influenced by American college clothing.
The full model number is C351-L17548, and it came out in 1997.
