ODM Mysterious IV

Odm have a lot of mysterious watches, both in design and name.

This one is the Mysterious IV by ODM (or o.d.m). ODM is based in Hong Kong and was founded in 1999. The name stands for Original, Dynamic, Minimal and they are marketed towards fashion conscious people with their own style. They have different classes covering cool, elegant, travel, sporty, and fashionable, with the Mysterious IV being in the fashionable category. The website says this is undoubtedly a choice for a trendsetter, young, style-driven, and energetic person.

The Mysterious IV (code number  DD98) was brought out in 2002 and utilises the brands button-less design (as part of their Minimal design ethic). Changing between the time and date display is done by tilting the watch. The display is a vertical 4 digit LCD display with another two small characters at the bottom for PM or day. When in the date mode, the watch shows an inverse LCD display.

On the back is a setting button which cycles through the different sections with repeated presses. You tilt the watch to change the number with the numbers changing faster as you turn the watch more vertical. The band is made of silicone, and the watch module squeezes into the front hole.
