Casio A168WG-9

The A168 arrived in 1995 and was among the first Casios with an EL backlight — which is why ILLUMINATOR is printed across the face rather than hidden in the manual. In gold tone it has become the version most people picture. Slim at 9.6mm, steel bracelet, unchanged for thirty years.
