Today I'm wearing a very blobby watch and when I first got it, I thought it reminded me of blood cells.
My hunch was actually correct as this watch's name is Blood.
It is by Cabane de Zucca, which is a range of designer watches with the concept that 'Zucca delivers a little organic spice into our daily lives'. The brand is part of the A-net Inc group which was established in August 1996 (same year as the first Zucca watches). It is heavily linked to (and possibly owned or managed by) designer Issey Miyake (who I think I read once was behind Zucca brand).
This watch was released in 2002 and came in 3 colours, this being the black version. It has a small 3-hand dial with a yellow crown at the 8 o'clock position. The watch's face has a dotted pattern, and there is a large Z in a diamond shape towards the bottom (which must be a Zucca logo). The hands are orange, and the second hand is curved with the circular (blood cell) shape in the middle.
The strap is rubber, and follows the blood theme with large blood cell shaped blobs evenly spread down the strap. The clasp is quite unusual, as each end has a a plastic clip which fastens over a thin section on the other side of the strap.
It uses a Seiko 7N01 module, with a full model number of 7N01-0BF0. It has a catalogue number of AWDT003, and an original sale price of 12,000 yen.
