Citizen GlassD Ana-Digi Temp - 8989 module

As I've mentioned before, the Ana-Digi Temp range of watches have been released under many of the lines of Citizen watches. This one is the GlassD variant.

The GlassD line is one of the most elusive of the Citizen lines, with no real information on when it was around, and who the target audience were.

The Ana-Digi Temp watches were the first watches to include a temperature sensor in the watch. As with all of the others, this has two electronic dials, and 3 LCD displays. The A1 dial covers time, and the A2 dial has seconds, alarm, dual time, and chronograph options. The digital displays show the other settings and have time, date + temperature, alarm, dual time, and chronograph functions too.

This GlassD version has a one piece resin case and strap, with the rectangular front of the module in the middle, and the buttons functions engraved into the plastic. The inside of the strap is covered in small raised blobs, which hold the watch in place, but leave you with indents in your wrist (as shown in one of the photos).

This watch also uses the 8989 module as with several of the others I've blogged. The full model number is 8989-S78551.

Citizen Oxy GlassD D510 Yellow

As it's an Easter party tonight, I decided I needed a Yellow watch, so picked this Citizen Oxy GlassD watch.
The Oxy range is a Citizen sub-brand, and GlassD is a range of watches within that brand.
The watch was released in the 1999/2000 timeframe, and had 5 colour variations.
The watch uses the same D510 "shutter" module was the 1481010 Neophilia model show previously.
The watch by default, shows a mirrored display with inverse seconds, and pressing the bottom right button shows the time. Other modes are alarm, chronograph, and timer.
The unusual feature is the hinges around the buttons, which allow the watch face to rotate. This means that although the strap is quite stiff, the watch is very comfortable to wear.
The watch has a model number of D510-S69888, and a catalogue number of VO10-5565K. The original sale price in 2000 was 10,000 yen.
