Another Casio LCD watch today, but rarely for an LCD, it has a rotating bezel.
The watch is called the Surfing Timer by Casio, and is designed for ease of use for surfers. It is 20 bar (200m) water resistant, and has large metal protruding buttons for ease of use. Even the band on the strap to hold the loose end is metal for extra strength.
The LCD display has 3 sections with numbers, and two graphical sections. The numbered sections are (from the top): month, date and day, time (6 digits). The graphical bits are bars for the seconds, one filling by the second, and the other in groups of 5.
The watch feels quite colourful with the black of the face, silver red and blue of the LCD, and the gold of the bezel. It came out in 1991 and there was also an inverse LCD version (which states 200m instead of 20 bar).
The model number is DW-403 and it has a 906 module with a countdown (surf) timer, stopwatch, and alarm. The bezel has many segments covering kilometres and nautical miles, and these correspond to the minute marks on the face.
The strap is made of resin, and has the watches name, Casio, and the water resistance printed on it. It's part number is F2 294.
