Citizen Independent 1481010 - D400 Freshjive Special Edition

Time to get back to the 1481010 range today.

This is a special version of the D400 LED range of watches, released for Freshjive in 1998. Freshjive was founded in 1989 by Rick Klotz. Originally intended to reflect the varied influences of his California lifestyle, the company became known as one of the originators of streetwear culture.

The face has the shadow image of a running man, and the phrase "you are running out of time". The watch head also has this phrase below the display, and Freshjive above, and the strap has a small symbol printed upon it.

The watch has an LED display, with the hours in green, and minutes in red, and is illuminated when the bottom button is pressed. After the time is displayed, there is an animation from the LEDs, with either patterns or numbers. The animation depends on which hour it is. The watch also warns of a low battery by replacing the animation with a single flashing LED (4 flashes for low, and 10 for very low).

The full model number is D400-L18340 and the catalogue number is IT21-4308H

Citizen Independent 1481010 - D500 black, leather strap

Another one of the 1481010s today.

This one, has a similar display to the Neophilia model, and the same system as the "shutter" version I've shown previously, but with a very different design.

For this model, the D500 module is placed in a metal module with metal loops at either end. These loops are connected to the 2 part leather strap, and held in place with velcro and a prestud.

The module screen displays a mirrored display with inverse seconds, and time is shown with a press of the bottom right button. Other modes are alarm, chronograph, and timer.

The full model number is D500-L20280, which is the same for all of the standard leather strap D500s
It first appeared in the 2000 catalogue with a catalogue number of IT21-4611K, but the leather strap version had stopped production by 2003.

Citizen Independent 1481010 D500 "shutter"

Time for another 1481010 (as these make up about 20% of my collection).
This model is one of the 1481010 range using a D500 module, and the display works the same as the 1481010 neophilia I posted in Jan 2012.

The time, by default, shows the seconds in the center of a mirrored LCD display, and when the time button is pressed (bottom right) the watch beeps, and the mirror display fades out (like opening a shutter), revealing the time. As a neat touch, if you press the light button (bottom left) first, there is no beep when the time button is pressed.

The watch has time, alarm, chronograph, and timer functions (top left button), beeping as the mode is changed (with a double beep when you get back to time).

The watch case is segmented, with the top connection to the strap able to flex up and down, and the bottom end of the case connected directly to the strap.

The full model number is D500-S69322, and catalogue number is IT21-4392K. The watch came out in 1999 or 2000, but had ceased production by 2003
