Deadman Slave LSD 4343

I'm blogging another mystery Deadman watch again today.

I've still not found much more about the Deadman (or Dead man) watches since last time. All I know is that they are fashion watches from Japan in the late  90s, and they had two sets of model numbers (GV or LSD).

This model is from the LSD range and is called the Deadman Slave. It is an unusual shaped model with a mixture of lines and curves. The face is a yellow rounded trapezium shape with a 3 hand dial. This is mounted on a round flat surface which tilts down towards the bottom, and has a deep set date window at the bottom (and a round glass with a flat top). The case is more of a rounded triangle, wider at the top. It's actually quite difficult to describe, so you're better off looking at the photos. The model number is on the back and is LSD4343 (or LSD 4343).

Deadman Live Wire

Today is another Deadman and yet another different design.

The Deadman (or Dead Man) watches are one of the 1990s brands that are from a period when there doesn't seem to be much internet coverage from Japan. The brand was around in the late 90s and appeared in various watch magazines around the 1998 timeframe. They were a low cost brand (with quartz models around ¥3,800), but had interesting and unusual designs and high build quality.

This model is called Live Wire and has a model number LSD4342. Most of the watches had a GV model number, but some have LSD, although I've not worked out what differentiates the ranges.

It has a 3 hand dial design, but the quartz module is hidden behind a small round dial. Surrounding the dial is a clear glass band, with only the stem for the crown crossing the glass moat around the dial. The glass is also very thick, and protrudes 3mm from the front of the case. The strap is a metal one, and the watch has a Deadman clasp.
