Retrobike related watch

[Deveron53]

Just picked this up for only £20 quid on ebay. It is sort-of cycling related. Anybody want to guess how?

I know next to nothing about it myself other than it's made with tange tubing and has a "made in Japan" sticker on the bottom of the seat tube. I don't know how many were made but I've seen a couple on the internet, they originally came with a full DX groupset. I bought the frame forks and disc from a guy on here who offered it up in answer to a wanted ad, nobody else seemed to want it and it fits me perfectly.
