Citizen Independent 1481010 - C353 Turquoise

It's the end of the week and a familiar watch today.

As part of my collection of Citizen Independent 1481010 watches, I've been trying to get every variation that was released, so I have many variations on the same design. The 1481010 range was sold in the late 90s to early 2000s, and included many interesting and noticeable designs. Plenty more information on the range can be found in my overview page (link in the top right corner of this page).

This design is a Digi-Ana (or Ana-Digi if you prefer), and is built around a C353 module. It was the first model in the Neophilia sub - range, and came out in 1999. There is an LCD display at the top, an electronic dial in the bottom left, and an LCD animated pattern in the bottom right. The LCD display is also colour matched in this model, with the numbers being light green. The C353 models have dual time (as the dial and LCD are not linked and can show separate times), two alarms, chronograph, and timer functions.

This particular model has a number of C353-L72820, and the original sale price was 15,000 yen. It's catalogue number was IT21-4495S. This particular colour was only available in 1999, but the style still continued to 2001.
