The Casio Cosmo Phase CGQ-300 is a highly collectible vintage quartz digital alarm clock released by Casio in 1989.
It is the desktop clock counterpart to the famous Casio CGW-50 Cosmo Phase wristwatch.
🪐 Core Astronomical Features
Instead of standard clock graphics, the CGQ-300 features a unique liquid crystal display (LCD) designed for space and astronomy enthusiasts:
- Planetary Orbit Graphic: The top section of the screen displays a map of our solar system with the Sun in the centre and the nine planets (including Pluto, which was recognized as a planet in 1989) in their mathematically correct orbital positions.
- 300-Year Calendar: It features an internal memory containing orbital paths spanning a 300-year period from 1901 to 2200.
- Time Travel Mode: Users can manually input any date within the 300-year window or fast-forward/rewind time to observe how the planets align on specific dates.
- Halley's Comet Tracker: The clock automatically tracks and displays the trajectory of Halley's Comet as it shoots around the solar system display, alongside the exact dates of its closest approaches to Earth.
- Solar Eclipse Predictor: Calculates and tracks data for past and future total solar eclipses.
⏰ Standard Timekeeping Functions
- Regular time display (hours, minutes, seconds)
- Digital calendar (month, date, and day of the week)
- Daily alarm function
💎 Collector's Status
Because Casio produced these specialized astronomical modules in limited numbers during the mid-to-late 1980s, the CGQ-300 clock is exceptionally rare today.
