Over the years, Casio has produced many watches with the Data Bank function, and it seems that I have quite a few!
Today's watch is the Casio DB-520 which came out in the mid 80s (the calendar starts in 1985) and uses a 675 module. This is quite strange as I've seen other references for the DB-520 which has a 262 module and is from 1983!
The watch has the usual features packed into the module, having a 50 slot memo option, schedule input (sharing the 50 slots), world time, alarm, stopwatch, and timer.
It uses a 3 line LCD display, with the top line being a dot matrix arrangement. The bottom line shows the time (6 digits), and the middle line is the date. In time mode, the top line shows year and date, but in the other modes, it states which mode the watch is in.
The case is a silver coated plastic with a steel strap (part number B-859N) which is good at removing hair if you have hairy arms!
I had the black plastic version, it lasted during my 3 years passed in high school and I changed it just after the battery died. Very reliable I didn't untied it of ly hands for years. This watch is indestructible
