Today's watch is by a brand who seems to have done quite a few nice design watches for the Far East, but doesn't seem very well known on the internet.
The brand is called Metro and they have a logo with the word Metro in a script font with a 5 pointed crown above. I think that their watches are from the late 90s or early 00s, but there is no site or magazine I've found that can confirm this.
Today's model is called Costa Mesa (I guess after the small city in Orange County, California), and has a very retro classic look. It is quite a large 3 hand dial design with gold hands and gold hour markers on a black background. There is a date marker at the 3 o'clock position, and the watch has a dome in the glass above the date to magnify the number. The case is a solid looking brushed steel, with a polished (fake) wood ring around the face. The strap is a black leather crocodile skin pattern design, topping off the very 50s/60s feel of the design. There is no other information on the watch apart from that is has a Japanese (quartz) movement. There is also text on the face which says "Stainless Steel, Round Case, Water Resistant, tastefully styled, fine quality, dependable".
