Prices do varies depending model, the Oberon S model & the 10001001 cost ¥15,900, about AUD$170. Check here for more models and where to purchase.

There is also "Rogue" model - cost ¥16,900. To navigate the rogue, takes a bit of skills, but once you master it - no one can read the time but you...










Here is the "star performer" watch. One of the more expensive one at 22,000yen, however the multi-coloured LED version seems to have been sold out.And here is the "pimp" watch. "When the button is pressed for the time it will spiral all the lights on and off then show the time. Press the button again and the day and date will be displayed. Now what really makes this watch stand out, is the light up feature, the watch lights up every light in a spiral and then off in a spiral every 2 minutes from 6 PM to 1 AM. Super flashy and you will be Pimpin large. Pimpin was never easy till now. Grab one and see for yourself."
