Pictured on one of the super-spiffy neato keen 18mm nylon mil-style straps from Otto Frei. At a mere US $17.04 for a dozen, these are surely The Best Strap Deal in all WIS creation! WIS honeymoon Thumbs Up!

It uses a generic version of Indiglo, with the pusher at 2 operating..

..the backlight function. It's quite similar in design to the ChIndiglo, in that it uses a standard SII PC21 module at the core, with a separate lighting module built around it. But the lighting module here uses a pair of what appear to be 377 cells vs. the single 399 of the ChIndiglo. And I say "appears" because I didn't check for sure - unlike the ChIndiglo, this one not only works, but still had juice in the batteries! Kudos to whomever designed this watch for having the good sense to use a common battery for both the watch and lighting modules. Thumbs Up!

So I assumed. Wink, wink ... The font's an exact match to the magazines logo, in any case. As such.. (Views: 5)

..it's the perfect companion to the Time Magazine alarm clock which has been with me for ~ 25 years. I am smiling... Sure, it's been relegated to the bedside in the spare room.. but the darned thing still works perfect! Thumbs Up!
