JC/DC Time Track x odm black

Today I'm wearing a huge watch. But surprisingly it is incredibly light!
This watch was made as part of an ongoing collaboration between watch manufacturer odm (or O.D.M), and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac.
French pop fashion designer and nobleman Jean-Charles de Castelbajac (Marquis de Castelbajac) was born in Morocco in 1949, and established the JC/DC brand in May 1968. Known for imaginative designs for clothing and home furnishings, he has designed outfits for various artists (Madonna, M.I.A) and celebrities (including the Pope), and designed for the latest Lady Gaga video. He has previously designed a Lego inspired LCD watch called Pop Hours, also in conjunction with ODM.
Odm stands for Original Dynamic and Minimal, and are a Hong Kong based brand making a range of interesting designed watches with "the art of experiment...".
This model is called Time Track, and is inspired by military design. The face and hands are designed to resemble an army compass, and the strap resembles the tracks of a tank. There are also bumpers / grips around the side like an ammo box.  It looks like it is a large heavy steel item, but is made from plastic making it feel very light on your wrist.
The watch has a Japanese quartz movement, and is a 3-hand dial, with two separately moving digits for the date.
The model number is TT01-01, and the watch was released in March 2011 for $179
