New little friend: Sanyo Solar

[simone]

Hi friends....another catch here....
I found this Sanyo in NOS condition with tag (94.000 lire actual 47 euro),all in stainless steel and made in japan.
Basic function: Hour,date,light and alarm....and....SOLAR!!!!
The watch is little (not as the Seiko B and L series),ideal for small wrist (so seems made for me)
I don't know if this one is for lady but i don't think...probably for man or young boy...
The year of release is unknow,probably 1979 max 1981...
Enjoy....as the same a watch dedicated to my friend Kasper

Very nice one Simone, I remember a friend that had one of these in grade school in 1982. Man I'm getting old lol.

Do they still make the battery for it? Or does it require a special battery?

Well your dates of manufacture were probably correct, but people tend to wear their watches a few years after they were first made. Seeing that watch reminded me of a classmate that had the same model in 1982. :D

You agree,in fact i have a seiko with serial 7Dxxxx sold in 1979...

nice one again Simone, the solar panel is only a help for the battery..i also have one and no..it doesn't work with the solar only.

i like the small alarm sign.
