Casio Baby-G BG-110 L.A. Version

A while ago, I posted about a series of G-Shock mini watches that came out in 1994 and were the forerunners to the Baby-G watch range. This watch is one of the early Baby-G models and is almost identical in design to the DW-610 model.

The model is the BG-110 and may have been part of a range called Tripper. It has a yellow body with purple trim and strap, and the letters L.A. at the bottom of the face (which I guess stands for Los Angeles and would fit in with the Tripper name). Apart for the colours, it has the same shape and face as the DW-610 and shares the Casio 1416  module.

The display is a 6 digit LCD with smaller seconds and a squashed first digit. Above the first and last digits in the time are two small pairs of digits showing the month and date, while in the middle is a small dot matrix panel with a letter G (which rotates every 10 sec). Pressing the light button shows an animation of a surfing stickman, the same as the DW-610, and this dot matrix array also shows letters for the different modes as you select them. Above all of these is a curved bar used in the timer mode which has sections for start, 5 minutes, and finish.

The modes included in this model are alarm, timer, and stopwatch.

I haven't found exactly when this model was released, but I guess it would be around 1995, early in the life of the Baby-G range.
