Secrets to era-spanning popularity
Brighter display for practical visibility
In the 1990s, the A168 was among the first to feature an EL backlight, developed as a successor to the then-standard micro lamp. A thin, sheet-like EL panel evenly illuminates the entire display, greatly enhancing the clarity of the digital display in the dark. The A168 boldly features the word “ILLUMINATOR” on the face, symbolizing the watch’s dedication to visibility and everyday usability.
Timeless by design
Since its debut in 1995, the A168 has established itself as a long-selling model while retaining its timeless design. In 2011, it was honored with Japan’s Good Design Long Life Design Award. With its simple, versatile style, the A168 transcends borders, genders, and generations, remaining a beloved favorite to this day.
