151696637739 Check out that bad boy, I didn't know these existed. The duck shell blue is awful, but this would have been utterly groundbreaking tech for the time. The serial would make it 1989? I mean, proper matrix display watches have only come out in the past 10 years or so. Sucked in iWatch! Although the slogan on the box and the box printing gives me an extreme sports vibe, which would date it to 1999.    |

OK did some research, they were produced in the late 90's to about 2000.
Still, for the time, I don't think anyone else was doing a matrix display watch.

Very cool indeed, hideous color, but a cool piece none the less.

I was going to say 1999 as well as I think Seiko was still using Hong Kong (6309) and then Singapore and then Malaysia at least for their mechanical watches. Not sure about the digitals as they are not my thing. The color would make me think 1969 though  |

Not sure about the digitals as they are not my thing. The color would make me think 1969 though No, Josh, we were smarter than that. So what was the color progression (at least apppliancewise?  Arrange the following chronologically: burnt orange, olive green, teal, brown, sunshine yellow, black, stainlesss steel. |
