Citizen Independent 1481010 D380 - LTJ Bukem limited edition

I have a lot of D380 watches in my 1481010 collection, and here is another one!

In 1998, the Citizen Independent 1481010 brand collaborated with Good Looking Records and DJ LTJ Bukem to produce a set of special watches. All of the watches in this collection have black faces and gold writing, and this one also has a shiny black curved metal strap, rather than the normal silver one.

The back of the watch is stamped with the Good Looking Records logo, and the LTJ Bukem name.
LTJ Bukem is otherwise known as Danny Williamson, and he is known as one of the innovators of drum and bass music. Good Looking Records was formed in the early 90s by Bukem, for releasing Jungle and Drum and Bass music, and last released a record in 2009.

Apart from the design, this is a normal D380 with the curved dot matrix LCD, and the usual dual alarm and chronograph modes.

The full model number is D380-S68806. For more information on the 1481010 range, see here

Citizen Independent 1481010 D380 - Ken Ishii special edition

Today's watch is a special edition of a model I've posted about before.

This is the Ken Ishii special of the "Radioactive " D380 model. All of the D380s in the 1481010 range have the alarms composed by Ken Ishii, but this model has the symbol of the Ken Ishii album Innerelements (1994) on the button, and has a blue metal band. The watch was made in 1998, and released in limited numbers.

The D380 module has the normal functions of time, date, two alarms, and a chronograph, on the dot-matrix LCD display.

The full model number is D380-S68792

Radioactive LED watch - Quiz

For my 50th post, I have chosen probably the hardest to read LED watch from my collection.
This is the Radioactive watch from SeaHope, and was released around 2007. For more details on Seahope, see http://whichwatchtoday.blogspot.com/p/seahope-watches.html

The watch tells the time using 19 LEDs, but has no numbers to help. When the time button is pressed, the LED lights fill up and flash showing the time.

The watch model number appears to be Sea09, but on the back, it only says "Warning Radioactive".

As usual for a quiz day, let me know what you think the time is on the watch picture below. I'll update the post with the answer and how to read it after someone has got the right answer!

[UPDATE]: The time was correctly guessed, so time to explain how the watch works. 
The way you tell the time is: The bar on the right is the hours (showing 5), and because the warning light at the top is on, you add another 6, giving 11 hours. For the minutes, the lights in the radioactive symbol mean 10, 20 and 30 minutes. The first and third of those is on, so it is 10 + 30 minutes = 40, and the number of reactor lights is the individual minutes (4), giving 44 minutes - so the time is 11:44

Citizen Independent 1481010 D380-L18404 blue & clear

Today, it's another of my Citizen Independent 1481010 collection. This watch was released sometime between 1998 and 2003, and can be found in a lot of different colours and many special editions. I'll be showing more of these as I work through my collection.

The watch itself has a curved dot matrix LCD, and the D380 module gives it a chronograph and two alarms.
The main standout part of the design is the large button with a nuclear reactor symbol on. When pressed, this sounds one of the two alarms, and the display shows jumping graphic equaliser style bars for a while.

The alarms were composed by Japanese DJ Ken Ishii (and there is an Ishii special edition in the 1481010 range).

The main strap is a one-piece metal band which is quite springy. A lot of these watches suffer from breakages of the strap in the plastic sections used for linking the parts of the watch together, probably due in part to the metal strap wanting to straighten all of the time.
