In 1974, Casio revolutionized the watch world by introducing the Casiotron, the first digital watch with an automatic calendar function. This game-changing timepiece tracked seconds, minutes, and hours, while also displaying the month, date, and day of the week, even adjusting for shorter months. Upon its release, the Casiotron was a luxury item, priced at ¥58,000 (~$369 back then, or about $2,350 today). Fast forward fifty years, and Casio is celebrating this iconic release with the 50th Anniversary Sky and Sea Series, a limited edition collection that’s both a nod to the past and a leap into the future.
Inspired by the “Sky and Sea” concept, the series features the G-SHOCK GMW-B5000SS-2, the Edifice ECB-2000SS-2A, and the PRO-TEK PRW-61SS-2. Anchoring the lineup is the modernized Casiotron TRN-50SS-2A, complemented by the solar-powered BABY-G BGA-S290SS for women. Each watch is adorned in a stunning blue and gold colorway and boasts unique updates while paying homage to the original Casiotron. From the bare alloy finish of the G-SHOCK to the bio-resin construction of the PRO-TEK, every detail celebrates Casio’s legacy of innovation. Available in June, this limited edition series is set to captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike.
