Trans Continents GSX Exclusive 5537 module

A lot of collaborations happen in the world of watches - between brands, with fashion labels, or for advertising. Today, it's a mix of a these from 2008 (i guess - it could be 1998, but that's maybe too early for a GSX watch).

The watch was produced for the Japanese Trans Continents fashion line. They have a range of watches made by Citizen, but released under their own name. But this is also a GSX exclusive! The GSX range produces many different exclusive watches, often in collaboration with various brands.

This watch is a 3 hand dial design, with a Citizen 5537 module, and has elements of GSX and Trans Continents designs. The strap is a metal mesh belt and buckle.

The watch has many of the recurring design elements of the Trans Continents range - the second hand is a clear disc with the standard 50s/60s space rocket design, and the face of the watch is covered with the 3-D style globe latitude and longitude lines.

The back of the watch has the Trans Continents details, an information on the producers and designers. The watch was produced by N. Ishida (as with most of the GSX watches) and H. Hamada, with the designers being H. Yamamoto and Rica.

The full model number is 5537-L19371.
