Future Digital MV2034

Today's watch gives me a dilemma as it has told me that one of my earlier posts isn't quite correct.

The watch is called Future Digital, or just Future with Digital being the model description. It is the second watch I've published from Future after the Future Electronvolt which I covered in late August. As with the Electronvolt, this watch has been Produced by Time Reverse. Unfortunately, the phrase Time Reverse is too generic for web browsing, and searching for the phrase "Produced by Time Reverse" only links to my blog, so I haven't found any more information on them.

Now, eagle-eyed readers with good memories may have noticed the issue from the post title - the model number (or what I though was a model number). The number on the back of the watch says MV 2034, but that is the same number as the Future Electronvolt, and the designs are quite different! This suggests to me that the model number isn't really correct and the numbering possibly doesn't mean anything, which is a shame. The only thing may be that if all Future watches have the same, but different lines of watches by Time Reverse have different numbers...

The watch itself is a small (women's?) rotating disc design watch. It has an oval case and the combination of that and the design of the metal strap (but not the face) reminds me of one of the Alba AKA designs (the V743 I blogged in May). In this design, the hours and minutes discs are shown to the left of the centre, but the seconds are on the other side.

The watch doesn't have any more information on, just showing the name, producer, and the misleading 'model' number.

As the watch this looks like was from the late 90s (same as for the Electronvolt), I'm still thinking that these were late 90s or early 2000s watches, but they could be more modern.

Future Electronvolt MV2034

When I spotted today's watch, it confused me quite a bit. It looked exactly like one of the Independent 1481010 watches, but didn't appear to have that name on. As I thought it might have been a special edition I'd not seen before, I bought it. But on receipt it appears to be an almost identical design (even the strap), but with no actual connection to the 1481010s.
This watch is called Future, and on the back it says it was produced by Time Reverse. The model has a full title if Future Electronvolt Digital Model which I've see  used for this type of analogue watch with a 'digital' style display (rotating disc). The back also has two numbers MV 2034 and SR 626, this first I think is the model number, and the second is the battery type. As usual with these watches, I can't find anything online about it!
The design is just like the 6038 module rotating disc models from the 1481010 range. It has a rounded rectangular case with the same shape glass. There is a shiny circle at the centre, and to the left of that is where you read the 3 rotating dials. The strap is a stainless steel link design, with the first couple of sections at each side having a slight v-shape.
As the design is so similar to the 6038 watch, I would guess that the date will be the same at the late 90s.
