The original Casiotron revolutionized the concept of digital wristwatches by introducing an automatic calendar function that displayed not only the time but also the correct month, date, and day of the week. Now, 50 years later, the TRN-50 stays true to this visionary concept while integrating cutting-edge features such as radio-controlled time adjustment, solar charging, and Mobile Link functionality for smartphone pairing.

Maintaining the timeless elegance of the original design, the TRN-50 boasts meticulous attention to detail, including sophisticated textures on the case and band, a dark blue face, and the iconic CASIOTRON logo. The watch’s exterior is faithfully recreated to meet present-day quality standards, ensuring a seamless fusion of vintage aesthetics and modern craftsmanship.

In addition to its striking appearance, the TRN-50 offers practicality and convenience with features like the highly readable super-twisted nematic (STN) LCD and Tough Solar charging system. With the ability to receive time calibration signals from six stations worldwide and Mobile Link connectivity via Bluetooth, the TRN-50 ensures precise timekeeping and seamless integration with smartphones.

As a testament to its status as a limited-edition masterpiece, the TRN-50 features special details including an original case back design with an engraved serial number and eco-friendly packaging made from paper materials.

Priced at $699, the Casio 50th Anniversary watch TRN-50-2ADR will be available for pre-order starting from February 28th, 2024.
