Old Style LED "Skeleton"

Another mystery watch today.

This one is an LED watch with a 4 digit display. The digits are made from thin lines of LEDs, which is the old style of LED display, and is quite different from the more modern LED or LED illuminated LCD displays. It can show time, date, or seconds by repeatedly pressing the mode button, and the other button sets the time.

I called it a skeleton in the blog title as there is no face covering the circuitry, letting you see the insides. Of course, the real term only normally applies to mechanical watches, but it seems fitting for this too!

The strap here is a hybrid, with a stainless steel spring loaded metal section, but the fastening is a leather buckle.

That is all I know about this watch. There are no makers marks, model numbers, or any other identifying features on the case or back. The only thing is a code on the circuit board SCE-2 R2, but that doesn't lead to any useful info.
