Rare Vintage Casio 58QS-26 Men’s Digital Sports Watch JDM 1970s
■ STATUS: SOLD
THIS TIMEPIECE HAS FOUND A NEW HOME
► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a Rare Vintage Casio 58QS-26 men’s digital sports watch from the Japan Domestic Market (JDM), dating to the 1970s. This early Casio digital model features a classic stainless steel case with a clean, straightforward LCD layout representative of Casio’s pioneering digital era.
The watch is being sold for parts or repair. The side pusher does not engage the module, and the case back is extremely difficult to close as I was unable to fully secure it. I will leave it to the buyer to determine the best way to properly close the case back.
All parts of the watch are original.
The watch has signs of use and age, but the photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.
This is a desirable and increasingly hard-to-find early Casio digital watch, well suited for collectors of vintage Japanese electronics or restoration projects.

► 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.
