Scarce, museum-quality 'new old stock' 1978 'Starburst' LCD watch by Texas Instruments. The Starburst was the first fully electronic watch (no moving parts) that displayed the time using the conventional analogue format, rather than as numbers. It has seven operating modes: normal display (hours/minutes); minutes/seconds; day/date; alternate time zone; and three stopwatch modes (Hour/Minute; Minute/Second; and Seconds/Tenths). The gold-tone case is square with rounded corners, with a set button to the left side and command and mode buttons to the right side. The watch face dial with sunburst design encircles the central display window. Includes the original gold-tone stainless steel watch band with silver-tone "Starburst" case back. In fine, untested condition. (The circuits have never been energized. The specified CR2032 Lithium battery is not included.) The watch is accompanied by the original box, the presentation case, the owner's manual, and the original Texas Instruments invoice.
