Red and green buttons

Post21 Oct 2009, 15:12

Hello

I'm trying to identify, and then find a picture of, a watch I had in about 1977. I think (but am not sure) that it was made by Texas Instruments. The case was black plastic and vaguely hexagonal in shape. But the really distinguishing feature was that it had two coloured buttons - one red and one green - on the right hand side of the case.

All help much appreciated!

Hi Risotto
Not sure about a Texas, but Citizen did hexagonal watches around that time, they had yellow, white and black buttons though. Thats the best I can come up with. If you look at citizen on my site digitalwatchlibrary.com you will see what I mean about the hexagon shape and maybe recognize the quite unusual module they had.

Whilst browsing eBay I came across this watch a Seiko Timetron, different color to the one described but maybe it's a similar model? It was in the 1970 - 1999 age category?

Or could it be this one described as a first edition?

I think the last one looks cool 8-)

Or maybe it's a lip?

Many thanks for the replies. Great watches but they're not the one. I'll keep looking...
