Casio has once again demonstrated its mastery of blending tradition with technology through the Casiotron TRN-50SS. This commemorative model pays homage to the original 1974 Casiotron, the world’s first digital watch with an automatic calendar, which revolutionised wristwatch technology.

The TRN-50SS captures the spirit of its predecessor while embracing modern innovations. Its standout features include standard time radio wave reception, Mobile Link connectivity, and solar charging. These advancements ensure precision, effortless synchronisation with your smartphone, and an eco-friendly power source. These features make the TRN-50SS not only a tribute to history but a functional companion for today.

Visually, the watch is a masterpiece of vintage-inspired aesthetics. The tri-fold clasp, finished in a luxurious gold tone and adorned with the iconic triangle motif from the original’s case back, exudes elegance and nostalgia. The compact case size enhances wearability, ensuring comfort without compromising style.

Casio’s choice to celebrate the Casiotron’s 50th anniversary with the TRN-50SS also aligns with its broader focus on innovation and sustainability, reflected in other iconic collections like the Sky and Sea series. These designs honour both Casio’s heritage and its commitment to forward-thinking technology​.

The Casiotron TRN-50SS is more than a watch—it’s a celebration of Casio’s legacy. Whether you’re drawn to its historical significance, cutting-edge features, or timeless design, this timepiece is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
