Deadman Deluxe LSD5857

I'm back with the 6th of my Deadman watches today. I'm gradually piecing together information, and I think I might get a breakthrough from a recent purchase.

But in the interim, here is my Deadman Deluxe model.

The Deluxe is a 3 hand dial watch with a round dial, and is one of the more normal Deadman designs. It has hour markers, with numbers only at the 6 and 12 o'clock positions. Around the edge of the dial are markers for a tachymeter, which you can use against the normal seconds hand.

The watch uses a Japanese quartz movement, and in at least this model it is a Seiko Epson module (-this may be the same for all Deadmans, but I haven't been able to check yet).

The Deadman watches were released in the late 90s, and have a 60s or 70s feel. They appeared in several watch magazines when they were released, but not much is known online.

The watches came with a model number either starting GV or LSD, and this is a LSD model with the number LSD5857 (or LSD 5857).

Deadman Side Winder

When I was in Japan a few years back, the Deadman brand seemed quite popular and could be found in many of the cooler fashion shops.

The Deadman brand specialises in retro 70s/80s styles, and tend to be quite interesting. I have 4-5 of their watches, so more will be blogged as I get round to them!

This watch is the Deadman Side Winder, and has a model number of LSD 4341. Design-wise, this watch is quite unusual. It has the shape of a shield, with a castled top, but the top is much thicker than the rest of the watch, and has red 'jewels' along the top. The shape means it sticks out a long way from your wrist, and you need to be careful not to catch it on anything!
It has a 3-hand dial display, with a date at the 6 o'clock position
