Geo Time Alarm Chronograph

As well as collecting the Citizen 1481010 watches, I also buy watches who's design has been heavily influenced by that range, and today's watch is one of those.

The watch is by Geo Time, and shares some of the same design elements as the 1481010 D390 design (which I've blogged earlier). The Geo Time watch has the same one piece bendy metal strap design as the 1481010 with a plastic trim around the edge. The watch case shows through a window in the strap to reveal the face. It has a standard 6 digit LCD display, with day markers along the top of the LCD. It meets the promise made by the name by having alarm and chronograph modes, and the display can also show the date. Overall, the watch case is a little thicker than the 1481010, and everything feels a little thicker and so a little less luxurious.

The Geo Time brand seems to be another of these mystery fashion watch makers I keep finding. Web searches show they made a variety of designs, but there is no information that I have found about any bigger manufacturer behind the scenes. Inside doesn't help as the module has no makers mark or model number to help. With regards to date, I'd assume that this is a similar era as the 1481010s, and so from the late 90s or early 00s.
