► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Casio A201 “Blue Thunder” men’s digital alarm chronograph sports watch from the early 1980s, powered by Module 103. This Japan Domestic Market (JDM) release is one of Casio’s most iconic early digital designs and remains highly sought after by collectors of early Casio digital watches. With its distinctive gold-toned display and futuristic styling, the A201 represents the innovative spirit that made Casio a leader in digital watch technology during the 1980s.
The watch is in full working condition, and all features and functions are operating properly. The display is also 100% screen bleed free, which is becoming extremely rare to find on Module 103 watches today.
