Commemorative timepieces sparkling with the Casio passion for new value and constant innovation
India, January 15, 2024 — Casio has always been synonymous with bold innovation. From revolutionizing timekeeping in 1974 with the launch of the CASIOTRON —the world’s first digital watch featuring an automatic calendar and exceptional precision — to introducing industry-first technologies across decades, the brand has consistently redefined the art of watchmaking.
In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Casio proudly unveils the limited-edition ‘From Zero to One’ collection— timepieces that embody the brand’s philosophy of creating something from nothing, rooted in the spirit of Monozukuri. These designs honor CASIO’s legacy of innovation while continuing its commitment to delivering meaningful designs for users around the world.
Presented in a striking black and gold color theme, the collection symbolizes the first flicker of light breaking through the darkness. It encapsulates the journey from “Zero” to “One”—a transition that mirrors Casio’s constant drive to create new value through groundbreaking innovations.
The collection incorporates unique design elements, offering a distinctive look that celebrates half a century of Casio’s innovation and craftsmanship. Featuring signature models from four of its renowned watch brands—G-SHOCK, CASIOTRON, PRO TREK, and EDIFICE—this collection presents a fresh take on iconic timepieces that honor both Casio’s rich history and its innovative future.
Introducing the new CASIOTRON TRN50ZE-1A, a special commemorative timepiece launched as part of Casio's 50th-anniversary celebration that reimagines the design of the original CASIOTRON QW02 while incorporating modern features like standard time radio wave reception, Mobile Link connectivity, and Casio’s Tough Solar movement. The TRN50ZE-1A stands out with gold accents on the bezel, logo, and select parts, adding a subtle glow that enhances its luxurious appeal. Its exclusivity is further highlighted by the caseback’s unique “0101” circular pattern, symbolizing the theme of bringing light (creating one) from darkness (zero). An additional striking detail is a single gold-colored link on the otherwise black band, laser-engraved with “50th ANNIVERSARY.” Priced at INR 49,995/-, the TRN50ZE-1A, with its elegant gold accents and sophisticated black finish, perfectly embodies timeless style and modern innovation.

Featuring a black ion-plated stainless-steel case, bezel, and bracelet, the watch is accented by gold-colored indexes, hands, and a subdial ring at the 9 o’clock position—symbolizing light emerging from darkness. Adding to its sophisticated yet sporty appeal, the bracelet incorporates a bold design element with a single gold-colored link engraved with “50th anniversary”, visually representing the theme of illumination. With its elegant aesthetics and rugged build, the GMC-B2100ZE marks a significant step forward in the evolution of G-SHOCK, perfectly blending luxury with the brand’s hallmark toughness.
