Up for sale is an extremely rare vintage Casio ME-100 Data Memory 30 men’s digital watch from the 1990s, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) as a limited collaboration with the United Future Organization (U.F.O.). This special edition was created in connection with the multidisciplinary creative collective Tomato, with design input from Simon Taylor, resulting in one of the most unique and culturally significant Casio releases of the era.
This ME-100 features a distinctive oval-shaped LCD set within an offset stainless steel case, giving it a futuristic and unconventional profile. The dot matrix display supports multiple functions including data memory (30-entry databank), alarm, stopwatch, and world time. A standout feature of this collaboration is the hidden “Tomato” design element — when the EL backlight is activated, three circular shapes representing tomatoes appear on the display, tying directly into the artistic concept behind the watch.
All parts of the watch are original, including the stainless steel case and the original Casio stainless steel bracelet signed “United Future Organization.” The caseback is engraved with “TOMATO,” “United Future Organization,” and three circular motifs, further reinforcing the collaborative design. The watch is in full working condition, and all features and functions of the watch are operating properly. The watch shows signs of use and age, and the photos best describe its physical condition.
This is an exceptionally rare example of a Casio collaboration piece that blends music, design, and technology from a pivotal creative era in Japan. Pieces like this are seldom seen on the market and are highly sought after by collectors of vintage Casio, JDM watches, and design collaborations.

► 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.
