Casio CRW001 Ring Watch
As a lifelong Casio watch wearing, I couldn’t help but share this new find. Casio just released the CRW001 Ring Watch to celebrate their 50th Anniversary. The ring watch has the classic retro style, and there is no mistaking it as a Casio.
From Casio
We celebrate Casio Watch’s 50th anniversary by bringing back the very first ring watch. A whole new style of digital watch — both practical and playful — thanks to a miniature module and advanced metalworking technology.
Creating a ring-sized, full-metal version of the Casio watch’s complex form is no easy feat. To make this possible, we needed to use a special method of metal processing to inject a mixture of fine metal powders and resin into a mold. Using metal injection molding (MIM), the case, case back, and ring are molded in one piece, with even the dimpled design on the band faithfully reproduced. A special glass adhesive technique ensures a tight seal for a watch built to be water-resistant while still allowing the battery to be replaced.
