Birth year watches
Watches made in 1989.
Casio released the F-91W in 1989. It cost very little, ran for years on one battery, and went on to become the best selling watch ever made. Almost everyone has worn one at some point.
Away from the digital end, 1989 watches are slim, often gold toned, and were built as everyday items. That is exactly what makes them easy to wear now.
