► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is an extremely rare vintage Casio Casiotron 06-501 unisex digital sports watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1970s. Part of Casio’s pioneering Casiotron series, this highly collectible model represents one of the earliest generations of digital wristwatches produced by the company. First introduced in 1974, the Casiotron collection marked Casio’s entry into the wristwatch industry and helped establish the brand as a major innovator in electronic timekeeping. The 06-501 is an exceptionally interesting example of this early period, representing the technological advancements and experimental approach that defined Casio’s first generation of digital watches. The watch is in full working condition, and all features and functions of the watch are working properly. All parts of the watch are original, including its original Casio stainless steel bracelet. Finding these early Casiotron models with their original matching bracelets is particularly desirable, as many surviving examples have had their bracelets replaced over the decades. The watch is in good vintage physical condition with signs of use and age. The photos best describe its physical condition.
