Today is another of the retro LCD watch collection. This watch is a Casio FS-11 Pela film watch. The watch was released in 1985 as is a forerunner to the current Casio Film Watch range (see also http://whichwatchtoday.blogspot.com/2012/01/casio-film-watch-fs-02.html for a more modern example).
The watch uses a 467 module, which has a huge display compared to the tiny size of the watch, but only has time and date functions. The watch head is integrated into the strap to help keep the small feeling of the watch, and is angled for comfort.
The original sale price in 1985 was 3900yen or $16, which is the equivalent of $33 in today's money.
I got this watch as "new old stock" so had never been opened, which is pretty nice for a watch of this age :-)
