Up for sale is a rare vintage Casio Marlin W-550 men’s digital sports watch, powered by Module 81 and produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) in the 1980s. This model is part of Casio’s highly regarded Marlin series and is well known for its rugged construction, clean design, and strong collector appeal.
The watch is in full working condition, with all features and functions operating properly, including timekeeping, alarm, chronograph, calendar, and light. Performance is exactly as expected for this model.
Please note that one pixel in the minutes digits is slightly faded at certain angles. This does not affect overall operation and is a cosmetic characteristic only.
All parts of the watch are original, including the stainless steel case and Casio-signed bracelet. The watch shows signs of use and age, consistent with an authentic vintage piece. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.
There is a mark on the bottom right area of the crystal; this is not a chip. It appears to be a bubble or deformation beneath the glass.

► ARCHIVE FILE: CASIO — BRAND HISTORY
Casio brought an electronics company's imagination to the wrist, moving from calculators to the calendar-equipped Casiotron in 1974. G-Shock toughness, Databank utility, and affordable icons such as the F-91W turned the company into a digital-watch giant whose early modules and resin-cased designs are now a distinct collecting field.
