The Casio Cosmo Phase CGW-50 is a highly collectible, vintage digital wristwatch released by Casio in 1989 that features a unique, dynamic graphic simulation of the solar system.
Driven by the Casio Module 830, this rare timepiece charts the real-time orbital paths and alignments of the planets across a 300-year window from 1901 to 2200.
Because of its limited production run, sci-fi aesthetic, and unique astronomical functions, it has become a "holy grail" for retro watch enthusiasts.

- Halley's Comet Tracker: It tracks and displays the specific dates of Halley’s Comet’s closest approaches to Earth.
- Eclipse Calculation: The software can calculate and display past and future total solar eclipses.
Cosmic UI Animations
- Stopwatch Mode: The planets actively orbit the Sun on screen while the timer is running.
- Countdown Timer: Planets gradually vanish as time runs down, dispersing outward in the final 5 seconds.
- Alarm Animation: When the alarm sounds, a shooting star animation travels across the digital display.
