Citizen Independent 1481010 Spawn Special Edition: Spawn

This watch is another of the special edition 1481010 watches that was released in the late 90s, and is the second of the 4 watches released in 1998 to commemorate the release of the 1997 movie from the comic book Spawn.

The 1481010 range is one of my favourites, and much more information can be found on my 1481010 summary page (link).

The Spawn comic was created by Todd McFarlane in 1992 and published by Image Comics, and in 1997 a movie came out loosely based on the origin of the Spawn character. The comic and movie revolve around a government assassin who is killed and offered a deal by the Devil to lead his army. Spawn eventually realizes his true purpose and fights both the forces of heaven and hell, along with various criminals.

This model is the Spawn version and is one of two D380 models that were released in the Spawn range. It features the Spawn logo on the button instead of the radioactive symbol, and the Spawn title above the display. The back also has an engraved version of McFarlane's signature on. As it has the standard D380 module, the watch has dual alarms and a chronograph mode, and the usual cured dot matrix display

The full model number is D380-L18692, and the catalogue number is IT21-4231G. It was originally released for 15,000 yen, and I think it was a limited edition of 5000.

Citizen Independent 1481010 Spawn Special Edition: Angela version

In the late 90s, many special editions of the1481010 watches were released. Today's watch is one of 4 designs released to commemorate the 1997 movie of the comic book Spawn.

Spawn was created by Todd McFarlane, and tells the story of a soldier betrayed by the government and assassinated who makes a pact with the devil to return to earth, but eventually turns to fight for justice.

This watch is one of the 6160 module watches in the 1481010 range (and the only one of this module to have a Spawn edition). I've featured the non-Spawn version in an earlier post. It was released in 1998 and has a limited edition of (I think) 5000. This version is the Angela version, and features the assassin Angela on the packaging (who is the one who sent Spawn to hell). The special edition has the Spawn name on the dial, and the Spawn logo engraved on the strap just above the face. It also has Todd McFarlane signature engraved on the back.

It is a jump-hour watch with the hours in a window at the top (which start changing about 15min before the hour). The minutes are shown by a normal hand, and the seconds by a rotating triangle in the middle.

The full model number is 6160-L18722, and the catalogue number is IT21-4241J RN. It was originally sold for 14,000yen.
