► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Casio W-10 alarm chronograph watch from the 1980s, powered by module 415. This Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) release represents one of Casio’s early digital sports designs and remains a desirable piece among vintage Casio collectors. The watch is being sold for parts or repair. It is currently not functioning and has not been tested, so the exact issue is unknown and it is not known whether it can be repaired. When the case back was opened, the module did not appear to be assembled correctly, as if someone had previously been inside the watch and did not reassemble it properly. No attempt was made to repair or correct this. The watch is fitted on an aftermarket strap. The watch has signs of use and age, but the photos best describe its physical condition. Key Details: • Brand: Casio • Model: W-10 • Module: 415 • Era: 1980s (JDM) • Movement: Digital Quartz • Strap: Aftermarket strap • Condition: Not functioning; completely untested; module appears improperly reassembled; sold for parts or repair A hard-to-find early Casio digital sports model that presents a good opportunity for restoration or parts. Ships carefully. Feel free to message me with any questions.

► ARCHIVE FILE: CASIO — BRAND HISTORY

Casio began not with watches but with calculation. Tadao Kashio founded Kashio Seisakujo in Tokyo in 1946, and with his three brothers developed the 14-A in 1957, the world's first compact all-electric relay calculator, incorporating the business as Casio Computer Co. that same year. The move into watchmaking came in November 1974 with the Casiotron, a digital watch whose claim to fame was an automatic calendar that knew how many days each month had, a small feat of logic that announced how an electronics firm would approach timekeeping.
