The Deadman brand is a bit of a mystery. I've been trying to find out about them, but I haven't found anything online apart from some auction links. What know is that they appear in a few magazines from the late 90s, they could be found in the cool second hand stores in Tokyo, most of the designs have a 60s or 70s feel, and they made both quartz and mechanical watches. The brand is identified by their name on the face with an 80s computer font style, and most have a model number starting GV.
This model is also a mystery as it doesn't have a model number on! It is a mechanical watch with hand winding and a 3 hand dial design. The case is rectangular with rounded sides, and the numbers are large around the dial (and it looks very similar un design and font to a Michel Jurdain watch i saw online recently). It is a partial skeleton, having a window at the 9 o'clock position showing the balance wheel. The back is also see through so you can see the mechanism working, but there is no text on the back. It is quite a smooth movement, with around 14,000 bph.
Very nice
