Swatch GX409 George

I have many watches with many unusual names, but today I've got a with a normal name for a person (which makes it quite strange for a watch).

The watch is called George and is one of the Swatch models. It is one of the Originals range, and came in two versions - with and without date. This is the one with the date, which is the lower value variation, and it is a 3 hand dial design with the date at the 3 o'clock position. This model is now over 20 years old, being part of the 1992 Fall Winter collection (having been designed in 1991).

The design is quite a simple one with pale blue numbers on a white background with a pale blue circle in the centre of the dial. It comes with a (very) dark green leather strap, and had hardly been used before I got it.

It uses an AG10 battery which is behind the usual coin opened battery cover which is pretty standard for the Swatch watches.
