Casio Timber Cruiser TIC-130

Today it's another Casio, from another relatively obscure line that they made.

This watch is the TIC-130 by Casio, and is a member of a line of Casio watches called Timber Cruiser. The Timber Cruiser watches seem to be a line of watches released in the Far East only (maybe only for the Japanese domestic market). They appear to be a set of quite chunky and robust watches designed for outdoor life, but having metal cases sets them apart from most of the other outdoor models. There isn't much firm information about the range online, but the speculation is that they are from the 90s.

This TIC-130 model is a standard 3 hand dial design and uses a Casio 1783 module. It has a window at the 3 o'clock position to cover both day and date, with the day in Japanese or English. The watch is 20 bar (200m) water resistant, and has a screw down crown. Above the crown (at about the 2 o'clock position) is a small button which activates the Illuminator backlight, and the numbers and hands are also glow in the dark. Around the face is a thick rotating bezel with compass markings. This version came with a stainless steel strap (to match the body), and the clasp has the same Timber Cruiser logo as on the watch back (which looks like a line drawing of a knife with the Timber Cruiser text as the back line of the knife).
