So happy that Casio is showing off retro with the Casiotron 50th Anniversary TRN50-2A, a limited-edition timepiece that pays homage to the iconic Casiotron, the world’s first digital watch with an automatic calendar function that debuted in 1974. The TRN50-2A celebrates 50 years of Casio’s unwavering commitment to originality and innovation.
