Cabane de Zucca Safari Zoo - Giraffe

The very first watch i posted on my blog was a Safari Zoo watch by Cabane de Zucca. Today is the fourth and last of the line (well the male version at least).

This design is the Giraffe version, and like the others has a textured resin strap and case with the marking of the animal covering the surface. Four different designs were released in 1998 under a series called Safari Zoo, with the others being a Zebra, Leopard, and Alligator.

The Cabane de Zucca watch range is a collaboration with Seiko that started in 1995, and the Safari Zoo watches use a Seiko W240 module. The watch has a 2 line LCD display with a red Z in the backlight (which is triggered by the front button). Both lines have 6 digits, with two of the digits on the top suitable for showing letters. The modes for this watch are stopwatch (with pace mode), timer, and alarm.

All of these Safari Zoo models have the same model number of W240-4120. They were originally released with a retail price of ¥14,000. The catalogue number of this version is AWAB007.
