Casio C-Sphere CSE-321 Ana-digi

I've been looking at the Casio C-Sphere watches for a while now, as although they seem to be a range of ladies watches, they have quite interesting designs.

The C-Sphere watches were released in the mid 90s, and were a line of high tech watches in a very small package. This model is the CSE-321 version and was released in 1995/6.

It has two separate displays each using a separate module inside the watch, but all combined under the 2353 module name. The top display is a basic analogue design with a two handed dial.

The bottom display is where the high tech lies. The display is an inverse dot matrix LCD which is only about 1cm square. It normally shows two lines giving seconds at the top and the time below. Even though the module is this small, it has dual time (based on having two time zones set), world time, a data bank, and a stopwatch.

The strap is matched to the body, and so extra links are hard to come by (so I'm using a strap extender), and has the C-Sphere logo on the clasp.

It is water resistant, but doesn't say by how much, and was cased in China.
