Citizen Ana-Digi C480 Alarm Chronograph - Stripes

Today's watch is one of those that is difficult to work out an age. It looks very retro, but I'm sure they made them for quite a long time.

The watch by Citizen and is one of their Ana-Digi models. The styling are quite 80s, but we're some of the smarter and more refined designs of the time.

The main part of the display is the analogue dial, and is a 3 hand dial arrangement with crown setting. The LCD display is a single line below the dial and has 6 digits. The watches alarm and chronograph modes (as well as the date display) are on the LCD panel, and there are no other modes (but the Ana-Digi nature allows dual time).

It uses a C480 module, and has a full model number of C480-D01191. As mentioned at the start, I'm not sure on the age, but it looks like an 80s watch. If so, the serial number would suggest 1984, but it could easily be a 1994 watch instead, and the Trans Continents C480 I blogged before was from 2000, so even 2004 is a possibility.
