Data Piston-lid watch

Today's watch definitely has a touch of steampunk about it - although without the grimy feel that style often has.

The watch is by Data, whom I can find nothing about. Their logo is shown on the face (at the 12 o'clock position), and on the back, and is an X with a crosshair aimed at the centre.

The watch part is a 3-hand dial, with a crown to the bottom right. The module is a standard Japanese movement.

The interesting part of this watch is the flip-top lid. Normally, you can only see a slice of the dial through a diagonal gap in the lid. When you pull out the latch on the bottom left, the lid springs open and reveals the whole dial. The lid doesn't actually open the whole way, but there are two piston design pieces which connects the watch case to the lid. They are only cosmetic, but make it look like the lid is operated by a piston.
I've had the watch for a while, so it's likely to be from the 2000s (possibly earlier), and the design reminds me of Time Design or Storm watches.
