SD Dechonpa Kamen Rider

I've covered the Kamen Rider series (AKA Masked Rider) in watches before, but they've been based on his clothing (belts or helmet), but this one has the whole Kamen Rider on.

This watch is the SD Dechonpa Masked Rider watch. The Dechonpa watches were released by Bandai from the mid 80s to the early 90s, and this is from the SD range which featured Super Deformed versions of different characters.

This model is from 1989 and is a version of Kamen Rider. Based on the date, I think this will be from around the 9th or 10th series called Kamen Rider Black or Kamen Rider Black DX from the Shōwa Era of the show, and were the last series before a 10 year gap. Kamen Rider is a series started in 1971 about the motorcycle riding superhero who had been the victim of mutation from a terrorist organization called Shocker, but had escaped before he was brainwashed.

To get into the watch, Kamen Rider's legs act as a switch releasing the catch and letting his head rise up to show the LCD display. The display is a simple 4 digit LCD panel showing time, date, or seconds, switched by the button on the back of the watch.
