All kinds of vintage

CASIO VINTAGE
Avant-garde Japanese watchmaker Casio, arriving from the calculator industry, launched its first wristwatch, the Casiotron, in 1974. It was a perpetual calendar from the outset, but digital. A first. Ten years later, the G-Shock wave broke (70 million watches sold between 1983 and 2013). Today, nostalgia has already claimed the G-Shocks, but it is to the preceding period that Casio dedicates this new collection, called simply Casio Vintage.
