► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Casio 31QR-20 men’s digital sports watch, produced exclusively for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1970s. This early-generation digital model highlights Casio’s pioneering role in digital watchmaking, featuring a stainless steel case, clean digital display, and classic quartz technology from the era. The watch is in full working condition, and all features and functions operate properly, including timekeeping, day, date, and stopwatch functions. The digital display is clear and easy to read. Important note: on occasion, the bottom right pusher can become slightly stuck after a firm press. When this happens, lightly pressing the button again causes it to release back out normally. This does not occur on every press, but it does happen intermittently. All parts of the watch are 100% original, including the stainless steel case, bracelet, clasp, and internal module. The watch shows signs of use and age, consistent with a vintage piece from the 1970s. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.

► 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.
