Is it a discontinued model? How old is that?

Yes, I believe it was from the early 2000's and is JDM only, although I've seen many sold around the Malaysia / Singapore area (including this one). The black and white dialled versions are the common ones, but there are rare variants with blue, orange, brown and grey dials too, as well as white on a gold-plated case.

Thank you. That is a nice piece. Love the usage of acrylic. Think it should be used much more in modern watches as an alternative to mineral

It certainly gives it a nice vintage look, although does make it a little tall at 13mm.
