Rare Vintage Casio Casiotron 03-502 Men’s Digital Sports Watch JDM 1970s
■ STATUS: SOLD
THIS TIMEPIECE HAS FOUND A NEW HOME
► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is an ultra-rare vintage Casio Casiotron men’s digital sports watch, reference 03-502, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1970s. This early Casiotron model represents one of Casio’s pioneering digital designs and is exceptionally difficult to find today—especially in full working condition.
The watch is in full working condition. All digital functions operate properly, including timekeeping and date display. The light button is fully functional, though it has a noted quirk: it sits slightly recessed in the case, and on occasion it may pop out to a more normal position. When this happens, it is a bit firm and simply needs to be pressed back in to resume its recessed position and function normally. This appears to be a minor mechanical quirk and could likely be corrected with careful tinkering. This behavior is disclosed for accuracy and transparency.
All parts of the watch are original, including the stainless steel case and original Casio bracelet. The watch shows signs of use and age consistent with a genuine 1970s timepiece. Please review the photos carefully, as they best describe the watch’s physical condition.
