Comet Trail watch

It's going to be a quick blog post today. This watch is one that has no information, but I thought it looked interesting, and so wanted to blog it (as interesting, unusual, and retro are the main themes for my collection).

The watch is a cheap model which is the type that are mass produced and sold online for very little money. The build feels cheap with a thin light strap, and a build quality which is sometimes lacking.

It was the design that made me interested in the watch though. Time is told through 3 rotating discs. The centre disc has two coloured rectangles and is the seconds display. The hour and minute discs show the time through little windows to the numbers below, and are printed with an ever decreasing line of circles, which makes me think of a comet and it's tail. Reading the numbers through the windows is reasonably easy. The minutes have numbers every 5 in the smaller inner circle, but the hours are more tricky as around 1/2 past, the window is between numbers, and you have to rely on where the window is (as it is laid out the same as a normal watch with hands).

I think it is a modern watch which, can probably be found for sale still.
