Circa 1977

From https://thewatchforum.co.uk/index.php?/topic/95876-japanese-giant-goes-missing-ricoh-watches/

Ricoh didn't produce much in the way of early LCD watches - its first efforts being the simple cal811 and related cal812 watches. A number of unimpressive LCD models were however released and the early Hughes LED models were also eventually replaced with interesting Sanyo module variants (Sanyo incidentally also produced modules and components for Citizen and some of the later Pulsar watches...) LED died its inevitable death around the world in the mid-1970s and by about 1977 LCD was becoming a high-volume, very low-cost market that Ricoh's Japanese competitors were dominating.
