► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Casio W-78 men’s digital alarm chronograph sports watch, equipped with Module 593 and produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1980s. This model showcases Casio’s classic slim design and includes stopwatch, daily alarm, hourly signal, and 5 BAR water resistance. The watch is in full working condition—all features and functions operate properly, including the timekeeping, alarm, stopwatch, and chime. However, the backlight is very dim, and this should be clearly noted by the buyer. It is currently fitted with an aftermarket black resin strap that closely matches the original aesthetic. Physically, the watch is in very good condition with minimal signs of wear. Please review the photos, as they best describe its physical condition.
