Functions include alarm, dual time, day/date, and backlight, displayed through a classic LCD layout. The black and gold color scheme paired with unmistakable Playboy branding makes this one of the most visually distinctive and culturally iconic digital watches of the 1980s.

Grand Seiko, landmark dive watches, the 6139 automatic chronograph, and the 1969 Astron quartz watch chart a history of relentless competition and invention that left an unusually broad vintage catalog.
