I'm wearing another girls watch today, but I definitely don't think it looks too feminine for my wrist.
It is part of the Autumn/Winter 2009 collection of the Citizen Independent Girl range of watches. The Independent watches are aimed at fashion conscious young people, and have mens and womens models. The concept for the Autumn/Winter collection for 2009 was 80s Power Girl, and the watches were styled in this theme.
They also seem to have a bit of a pirate fixation in the Independent Girl watches with releasing Pirates of the Caribbean models, and having compass motifs and other piratey things on many of their other models. This one doesn't have any pirate look, but an attempt to translate the description reveals the link. This watch is meant to represent the image of a female pirate waiting to counterattack her enemy while posing as a prisoner of war. The two sides represent the mix of weakness and hidden strength in the face of the enemy. The stone in the crown represents the femininity, and the dark disc is for a sense of fun. I'm not sure how on earth they came to that conclusion, but I do like the watches styling.
It is a rotating disc model using a Japanese quartz 2502 module giving it a +/-20 sec per month accuracy. There are three rotating discs, and unlike the original 1481010 disc models, you read the time on the right side - although this means in a normal left to right flow, you read the time backwards - seconds, minutes, and finally hours on the outside.
The model number is 2502-003069-2, and the catalogue number /product code was ILA21-6101. The original retail price was 24,150 yen
