I don't want a category of item. I want a Make/Model that is the same as it 
was years ago with no cosmetic changes.

While Casio G-Shocks have been around for well over 20 years they are not the 
same model as the original ones and don't look the same.

Hints so far:
It takes batteries
It has an LCD
If you have one you probably wear a tie.

No more hints yet to give others a chance...
