Cabane de Zucca Dashboard Orange

Another from by Cabane de Zucca collection today - a set that grew in number before I realised I was really collecting them!

The Cabane de Zucca line are watches that came through a collaboration between the Japanese fashion company Cabane de Zucca, and watch manufacturer Seiko.

Today's watch is called the Dashboard, and was released by the company in 2001. It is one of the few mechanical watches in the collection, using a 7S36 automatic movement by Seiko. The movement is a 23 Jewels movement, and is only automatic (no manual wind capability). It has a 3-hand dial with day and date, and has quite a smooth sweep on the seconds hand.

The watch is designed with an offset dial, so the centre of the dial is almost at the left side of the strap. On the other side, the crown is enclosed in the case. The strap design is quite unusual, and very easy to adjust - each link is fastened with a plastic tab, so you only need to press down on the back of the link, and the strap comes apart, allowing you to add and remove links without tools.

The full model number is 7S36-0250, and the strap has the full model number (preceded by an -E) printed above the case.
