The third in the Caslon series reviewed by FlipClockFans (Models 201, 701 and now the 601), the more expensive Caslon 601 boasted a flip day and date along with the clock. The clock frankly does not have the beauty of the other models, but seems to be styled in a "Space Age" mission control panel look that went right along with 1970 release of this clock and the moon landing the previous year.
Details: Clock cabinet of solid aluminum, drilled at tapped to accept screw holding in plastic side panels. Real glass front.
