Casio Athena ATN-609 dress watch

I have a very dressy watch today, which didn't quite fit with going to the football.

Casio produce so many lines of watches it's hard to keep track. This one is from a line I've come across before, and from the lack of Internet hits, it hasn't been come across by very many at all (actually that's an understatement as I only found one article with pictures of this watch).

The watch is from a line called Athena which looks to have covered very smart dress watches. On the face there is the phrase 'time for elegance' which appears to be common to all Athena watches, and confirms that these are meant to look smart.

This model has a minimalist shiny black and gold face, and a case shape that bulges out towards the connectors for the gold metal strap. It has a 3 hand dial using a quartz 703 module, with a crown at the 4 o'clock position. The face is actually offset downwards on the case, and there are small gold dots for the hour markers.

The model number is ATN-609, and the matching strap has a part number of S-212N.

I don't know much more about the watch or range, but the lack of information suggests that they are not at all common.
