The Casio TRN-50 celebrates 50 years since the creation of the Casiotron QW02.
Casio Computer Co. Ltd has introduced the TRN-50 – a homage to their iconic Casiotron QW02 to mark the 50th anniversary of this groundbreaking timekeeper. Back in 1974, the Casiotron QW02 became the first digital watch with an automatic calendar function.
Timeless Design, Modern Innovation
The TRN-50 faithfully recreates the iconic design elements of the original Casiotron while infusing it with contemporary features tailored for today’s discerning consumers. From its classic dark blue face to the intricate textures of the case and band, every detail exudes sophistication and craftsmanship.
Advanced Functionality
Building upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, the TRN-50 introduces a suite of modern features aimed at enhancing user experience. With radio-controlled time adjustment, solar charging capabilities, and Mobile Link functionality for seamless smartphone integration, this timepiece epitomizes the fusion of tradition and innovation.
Precision Redefined
Equipped with a super-twisted nematic (STN) LCD display, the TRN-50 ensures unparalleled readability in any lighting condition. Its Tough Solar charging system harnesses the power of sunlight to provide sustainable energy, while Mobile Link connectivity ensures precise timekeeping by syncing with global time calibration signals.
Limited Edition Excellence
As a testament to its exclusivity, the TRN-50 is available in a limited edition of 4,000 watches worldwide. Each timepiece features a unique serial number engraved on the original case back, encapsulating the essence of individuality and craftsmanship. Furthermore, its eco-friendly packaging reflects Casio’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
A Legacy of Innovation
For five decades, Casio has remained at the forefront of watchmaking innovation, driven by its unwavering commitment to delivering new value to consumers worldwide. With the TRN-50, Casio not only honors its rich heritage but also sets a new benchmark for excellence in the digital watch industry.
The Casio TRN-50 is now available for pre-purchase on the Casio official e-commerce store. It’s priced at RM2,495, but given it’s limited to just 4,000 units, it could be a future collector’s item. If you want something that harkens back to an era before Casio’s G-Shock family was born, this could be it.
