Casio G-Shock DW-003

It's tough watch time today, and another from the Casio G-Shock range. Having been through a few of them on the blog now, it seems I have a thing for the 90s G-Shocks as that seems to be the majority of my collection.

This G-Shock is the DW-003. There were quite a few different versions called DW-003, but based on the use of a 1662 module, and a bit of digging, I think this is a DW-003RB-1T, which was released towards the end of November 1997. It seems to have only been a Japanese model, and was originally sold for 19,000 yen.

This model is part of a line called Rock & Native (using translation software...), and has a native American symbol of peace (a feather) on the strap. There were a few different watches in this line, each with a different backlight picture, and this one has a hedgehog (maybe porcupine) which signifies peace.

The watch has the rugged round G-Shock design with a thick screwed on case for protection, and the G light button  below the LCD. The LCD is shown over two window with a dot matrix array across the top (for showing day or mode), and a main window with two lines of 6 digits (6 digit date and time at the bottom).

The 1662 module gives it a good number of modes, covering data bank (30 slot telephone numbers), alarm, dual time, timer, and stopwatch.
