The DW-500C Junior G
Launched in March 1988, the DW-500C, called the Junior G was originally designed for kids. Unsurprisingly due to its more petite dimensions, the model grew popular among women and eventually spawned the Baby-G line.
Some random 1988 trivia:
The Hubble Telescope started operations
Prozac was introduced as an anti-depressant drug
