Casio Celebrates 60 Years of Calculation with Style

TOKYO – Casio, the company that revolutionized calculation, is celebrating 60 years of calculators with the release of special commemorative models.

The Japanese electronics giant announced the release of the MS-20UC-J series and the Comfy JT-200T calculator, each imbued with unique design philosophies, to mark this milestone.

The MS-20UC-J series, based on the already popular MS-20UC model, features three distinct designs showcasing traditional Japanese patterns: Asanoha Red, Seigaiha Blue, and Takekago White. These patterns have been cherished in Japan for centuries as symbols of good luck, blending cultural heritage with everyday functionality.

Alongside the MS-20UC-J series, Casio is introducing the Comfy JT-200T. This “design calculator” boasts a minimalist aesthetic with a strategically placed solar panel for optimal usability. It’s also manufactured with eco-friendly, scratch-resistant materials, emphasizing durability and sustainability. The design was developed through a re-examination of the fundamental elements of a calculator with long-term use in mind and will be sold regularly.

Casio’s calculator journey began in 1965 with the “001,” the world’s first calculator equipped with a seven-digit constant storage dial and memory function. This groundbreaking invention quickly gained popularity among business users and has contributed to Casio calculators being sold in over 100 countries.
