Casio Illuminator retro LCD watch

Retro Man — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:43:40 +0000

This is a nifty wee Casio retro LCD watch with all the usual functions, but a slightly unusual illuminating function…

Comes with all the Casio tags etc, and is a very decent “every day” watch with a touch of retro unusualness. Is that a word? Not sure. However, it’s unusualness lies in it’s illuminationness. You click on the light button and a very distinctive, and highly retro, blue light is activated! Booya! You gotta love it.

Price: 60 GBP approx

Japanese LED new retro watch

Retro Man — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:05:56 +0000

Nice, new, retro-style Japanese piece here. Very rare, very unusual…

Bit of an oddball this watch, but it’s certainly unique, and certainly a talking-point. You click on the button which emits a dancing scatter LED effect in red. In the photos it looks a bit orange, but I assure you it lights up in red LED dots in reality! When you click the button, the LED scatter effect dances a merry jig across the screen, tells you the time, and then shuts off! Awesome!

It’s a really unusual watch this, who else but the Japanese could come up with such a novel idea. However, I think it still manages to be retro in a kind of Buck Roger’s style. Younger viewers can find out who Buck Rogers was via Wikipedia…

PRICE: 55 GBP approx

Well so many of you ask after these old Japanese retro 70’s Seiko watches, and I am not at all surprised…

This is a classic plain 70’s Seiko watch, time / date, stainless steel strap. Bit of a simple eye-catcher this, subtle retro style.

Galaxy black jump hour watch

Retro Man — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 13:27:01 +0000

This is a jump hour watch by Galaxy. I love this watch. I love the strap, the clasping mechanism, the movement, the lot…

And the fact that it’s a jump hour watch in black is just dreamy. I love that combination. This watch has a great automatic movement, and the clasping solid steel wrist is perfect for any size of wrist.

That red bit in the photos is just a protective sheath by the way. Dinnae panic.

Big Black Chunky LCD retro “bastard” of a watch

Retro Man — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 11:33:10 +0000

Hello you all. I call this watch the “bastard”. It’s big, it’s black, it’s a behemoth of a watch. Big dimensions, and suits only the manliest of man-wrists. i.e not mine.

However, it’s a cracking LCD watch, in an exciting retro format. Has all the do-da’s you’d expect from an LCD timepiece, and has a really comfy strong rubber strap.

Did I mention this watch is HUGE? As you can see from the photos it has a protective layer thingy on it, which I didn’t like to peel off. Well, you don’t do you? Peeling off those layers is like an admission that your new toy is not “new” anymore…

Casio Databank watch in gold

Retro Man — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 17:50:21 +0000

GOLD! Always believe in your soul. You’ve got the power to KNOW, you’re inde-structible. Wise words indeed. Meet the Casio databank watch in gold with all the bells and whistles. It’s an NOS unused piece and is split shiny new condition – even comes with a wee instruction book in case you get lost. I’d doubt severely if you actually wanted to use this databank to watch to keep data in, but if you do, it’s more than adequate. The primary function of this watch is LOOKING COOL. Which it does with aplomb.

Fantastic gold Casio databank watch and gold watches have suddenly become cool again. Don’t ask me why. Certainly stands out when one has a black t-shirt on.

PRICE: Approx £70 / 1050 SEK + shipping
