As you may have noticed, I have a lot of watches which are variations on the D380 module, and this is another of them.
The D380 was used mainly (maybe exclusively) in the Citizen Independent 1481010 line of watches, and there were many special editions based on this design. The 1481010 range was released in the late 90s as a line of fashion watches, and more details about the range can be found in my overview page (link).
This particular version is a collaboration from 1998 between Citizen and the XLarge (or X-Large) clothing brand.
XLarge was founded in 1991 in Los Angeles and produced clothing in the Urban and Hip hop style (with one of the Beastie Boys being an original partner in the company). They were the first brand to use a gorilla/ape design as their logo, ahead of the (more famous?) Bathing Ape / Bape line. This gorilla head logo is placed on the front button of the watch where the radioactive symbol is usually printed. The watch model is called Break Beats, and is in a green camouflage design, with the camo outline also engraved on the strap curved metal one-piece strap along with text explaining the colour for that section.
It was released as a limited edition, but I don't know how many were produced.
From the watch point of view, it is the same as the other D380 models, with a curved text inverse dot matrix LCD display. It has dual alarms and a chronograph function, and the alarm tune was composed by Japanese DJ Ken Ishii.
The full model number is D380-L19397
