GSX300 Tekkamen - In The Space

Today, I'm wearing another of my watches by GSX, who are known in Japan for their ranges of exclusive watches and collaborations with various films, series, or products.
This watch is a GSX300, and one of three versions released the 25th August 1997. This version is called 'In The Space'.

The watch is designed to be reminiscent of the 1950s with a one piece steel case, and the glass area reduced to a minimum.

The watch uses a 6038 module, and has a model number of H13308.
This is a rotating dial watch, with the time showing where a fixed red line crosses the rotating dials. The second-hand looks like a silver cog in the centre, with one red tooth as a marker.

Like the other GSX watch I've published, it is designed by S. Misono, and produced by N. Ishida.
The official website for this model is:http://www.gsx-watch.com/GSX_line_up/300.html

GSX 700S sv Zort Fighter

Today, my watch is by the brand GSX, who are known in Japan for their ranges of exclusive watches and collaborations with various films, series, or products.
This watch is one of 13 watches in the 700 series, and the particular colour version is called Zort Fighter, and was released in Japan on the 15th December 1997. The front also shows the name mk5, and the watch is sometimes listed under that name. I've tried to find out what the name means but with no luck - any ideas?
The back of the watch states that it is designed by S. Misono, and produced by N. Ishida.
The module in the watch is a D299 with an inverse LCD and 2-line display. Features include dual time, dual alarm, stopwatch, and countdown timer. On the face, next to the buttons, there is writing imprinted in the body: "change" by the mode button, "hikare" by the light button (Japanese for light/illumination), "let's go" by the start/stop button, and '4 rectangles with dots in' by the split/reset button. From my crude translations, it also seems that the watch strap is special in that it is designed to grow and contract with  heat (presumably for comfort when conditions change).
