The watch was released in 1978 based on the F033 module (which was first featured in 1977) and is a simple 5 1/2 digit LCD panel (with only a 1 possible for the first digit). Pressing the button displays day and date (day), but the settings mode included the month (presumably to determine how many days before going back to 1 again). For the day name, there are some extra segments in the digits to allow different letters (for example the T in SAT).
The more unusual part of this watch is the display panel. This model features a special reflective display panel (sometimes called a fluted display) which makes the numbers really clear to read and have a wide viewing angle.
Original price in 1978 was around 27,000 yen
Overall, I think this model is a nice thin and light 1970s watch, with an attractive light (and light catching) face.
