In commemorating its golden jubilee in the timepiece industry, Casio Computer Co., Ltd. has unveiled the “Zero to One” collection, featuring five special-edition watches. These timepieces span Casio’s most iconic brands—CASIOTRON, G-SHOCK, EDIFICE, PRO TREK, and BABY-G—showcasing the company’s enduring commitment to innovation and excellence.
Honoring a Legacy of Innovation
Since introducing the CASIOTRON QW02 in 1974, the world’s first digital watch with an automatic calendar, Casio has been a trailblazer in the timepiece industry. This groundbreaking watch eliminated the need to manually adjust calendars, heralding a new era in watchmaking. The “Zero to One” collection celebrates this legacy, emphasizing Casio’s visionary ethos of “making something from nothing.”
Design Philosophy
The “Zero to One” collection is unified by a striking black-and-gold color scheme, symbolizing the first flicker of light breaking through darkness. Each watch incorporates unique elements such as:
A motif of 0s and 1s, representing the binary beginnings of digital innovation, applied to dials and case backs.
Triangular engravings reminiscent of the original CASIOTRON QW02.
Gold accents on otherwise black bands, engraved with “50th ANNIVERSARY.”
