► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is an ultra rare vintage Casio World Time AW-21U men’s ana-digi sports watch, powered by Module 387 and produced during the 1980s for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM). This early World Time model showcases Casio’s pioneering global timekeeping technology, featuring both analog and digital displays along with a distinctive world map function that allows users to view time zones across the globe with ease. The watch is in full working condition, and all features and functions operate properly — including timekeeping, world time, alarm, stopwatch, and backlight. All parts of the watch are original, including the case, strap, clasp, and buckle, each marked with the Casio logo. Physically, the watch is in very good condition, showing only minor signs of light use consistent with age. The gold-accented world map display remains sharp and vibrant, preserving the unmistakable 1980s Casio aesthetic. One of the caseback screws appears to have been replaced at some point, though this does not affect the structure or performance of the watch in any way.

► 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.
