This particular watch will give you flashbacks to the 70’s. It’s a “drivers” style watch - Using a unique front display for easy viewing while “driving”….the Drivers style watch was recently re introduced by Addidas and TokyoFlash…. creating a frenzy of collecting activity and once more confirming the cult status of this ultra cool design.

I dunno about cult status - but I think I found my next watch. - You can find this one and others like it at the LED Watch Shop - this ones going for $80

You are riding your bike - or scooter - or heck, your riding lawnmower… you may not need a horn. You certainly may not need one that blares at an ear shattering 115 decibels.
