Today's watch is another where the shape will look familiar to those following my blog for a while, but with a design difference.
Many D380 watches were released in Citizen's Independent 1481010 range. The range was out from 1997 to 2003 as a fashion brand for young people, and more information can be found about the range in my 1481010 overview page (link).
Normally I refer to the D380 watches as 'radioactive', as they have the radiation symbol on the large front button. But some were released with no symbol (-there are at least 3 colour variants like this). It appears that the symbols are not printed rather than being worn away, as there is no trace of either ink or scratches on the button.
Apart from the lack of symbol, the watch is the same as the other D380 models, with the curved metal strap and shield shaped head. The watch has the normal curved effect dot matrix LCD display with mode indicator triangles. Mode-wise, there are dual alarms and a chronograph function. Pressing the button sets off an alarm composed by Ken Ishii, as with the normal model.
The full model number is D380-L18765 but it doesn't appear in any of the catalogues. This particular watch was made in 1998.
