Up for sale is a rare vintage Casio Casiotron S-16 men’s digital sports watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1970s. The Casiotron line represents Casio’s earliest digital watch technology, and the S-16 is considered one of the more advanced Tron-era models, making it especially desirable among collectors.
The watch is in full working condition, and all features and functions of the watch are working properly. The digital display is clear, and the buttons respond as intended.
All parts of the watch are original, including the stainless steel case and original Casio stainless steel bracelet. The watch shows signs of use and age, but the photos best describe its physical condition.
This is a very difficult model to find in general, and examples that remain fully functional are becoming increasingly scarce. A strong opportunity to acquire an important and collectible early Casio digital watch.

► 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.
