The Credit Suisse logo is the hilarious cherry on top of this ridiculous, funky cake.

Currently have a Casio DBC-611 (Silver colourway) on my wrist as I write this and I'm loving it. It's adorably retro and it's got all sorts of lovely little gimmicks:

  • Day of the week in several languages
  • Perpetual calendar up to 2099
  • DST toggle
  • Second time zone
  • Toggleable button press beep
  • Storage of 25 phone numbers (all settings/data wiped on battery replacement every ~3 years)
  • 4-function calculator (you can save a constant and accumulate repeated calculations to a result)
  • Conversion between two currencies (you can input one rate and toggle conversion direction)
  • 5 alarms (daily, monthly, annually)
  • Hourly time signal (toggleable)
  • Stopwatch with split time

Upper-middle class professional with responsibilities

If you're not chasing that particular air of sophistication that comes with a fancy/dress watch, the not-so-rugged quirky practicality of this Databank is absolutely wonderful! Other styles include the classic CA-53W or the new CA-53WF variants with great colourways (and an admittedly harder to read inverted LCD display). The new "Casi-oaks" are pretty nice too.

Wow, that's really unique.

Camera might be auto-WBing if it's close enough to white. Try photographing it against a white paper background and see if it comes across better.

It's so alike the 13–24 small hour numerals it's an almost deceitful design. For some reason I have no problem with it on the Junghans Max Bill but I just don't like it here. Might be me being prejudiced against Timex but I hope it's not that.

Overall looks neat but the placement of that date window is 😵‍💫
