The TRN50-2A model, with a production run limited to just 4,000 units, boasts a range of advanced functionalities such as 50-meter water resistance, an LED backlight, and a world time display covering 39 cities. These features ensure that the watch not only meets current demands but also pays homage to its historical roots.
Modern Connectivity and Exclusive Design
The integration of the TRN50-2A watch with smartphones via the CASIO Watches app allows for seamless updates to different time zones and offers additional smart functionalities. Furthermore, the timepiece showcases a distinctive case back design crafted specifically for its 50th anniversary, with each unit bearing a unique number to underscore its exclusivity in the market.
Limited Availability and Future Prospects
Although initial pre-orders in Japan and the United States have already been sold out, prospective buyers interested in acquiring the TRN50-2A may have to explore the resale market post its official release on February 29, 2024.
