Casio DBC-63 Cognit Schema Telememo 50

There is nothing that looks as geeky on your wrist as a watch with a calculator pad.

This is especially true for this watch which has the words Cognit Schema on the front and the strap. Cognit Schema is the organisation of knowledge about a particular concept.

The watch is by Casio and is one of their telememo 50 models with the designation DBC-63. This particular model has been done in collaboration with the Archeological Institute of America (AIA) and features their crest engraved on the back. The AIA was founded in 1879 and is America's largest and oldest archeological organization with over 250,000 members.

The watch has a two line LCD display with 6 digits for time (in an 8 digit line) along the bottom and a mixed display for day and full date above (a small dot matrix array and a 4 digit basic display). Above those is a set of printed boxes to show when you have events set up in this week and next.

The front of the watch has the most buttons with a 4x4 arrangement for the calculator and memo input, and a button in the middle of the watch which activates the electro luminescent backlight.

It uses a Casio 1276 module and has a data bank (telememo with 50 slots), schedule, calculator, world time, alarm, and stopwatch modes.

This particular one was the DB-63-CS-9T, and features a stylized bird picture in the backlight. It was released in 1997 and was a limited edition model.
