Orient Touchtron H680110-40 Men’s Vintage LED Digital Sports Watch JDM 1970s

Up for sale is an extremely rare vintage Orient Touchtron H680110-40 men’s LED digital sports watch from the 1970s, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM). The Touchtron is one of Orient’s most unusual, historically significant, and sought-after early digital watches, representing a fascinating period of experimentation during the early development of electronic wristwatches. What makes the Touchtron particularly remarkable is its touch-activated LED display. Rather than relying solely on a conventional button to illuminate the time display, the watch was designed so that touching specific areas of the case activates the LED screen. This innovative technology made the Touchtron one of the earliest examples of a touch-activated wristwatch and gives the model an important place in the history of digital watch development. Please note that the watch is being sold strictly for parts or repair. A battery was installed and the watch did not begin functioning. It was not tested beyond that point, so the exact issue is unknown and it is not known whether the watch can be repaired. The watch is being sold as is for parts, repair, or restoration, with no guarantees regarding functionality. All parts of the watch are original, including the original Orient stainless steel bracelet. The watch is in very good vintage physical condition with signs of use and age. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.
