Seiko Alba Spoon Web W440

Today's watch is from another Alba (Seiko) sub-brand called Spoon.
Spoon watches were started in 1995 to bring new style to digital watches.
This particular model is the Spoon Web, and also has been refered to as the SAM, or Secret Agent Man, This watch is quite complex with a relatively high resolution dot matrix LCD (2 lines of 8x56). The time is displayed on the right hand line, and can be shown in two orientations. The left line normally shows the day, but also shows random quotes (I'll list some at the bottom of the post). Pressing the bottom button in time mode also gives a quote, whereas turning the button brings up the date.
Other modes are:
- address book
- memo/messages
- chronograph
- timer
- alarm
The full model number is: W440-4000
The watch has a catalogue number, and had a price (in 1999) of 21,000 yen.
