Casio Vintage is just as trendy as it was in the eighties

Who would have thought - when Casio released their first digital wristwatch in 1974 - that this type of watch would continue to be popular in 2020? In fact, the collection called Casio Vintage is still growing. With re-issues of classic models and modern watches with a retro look.

Casio watches have become an indispensable part of urban wear. A leader in the development of (digital) quartz watches for more than 40 years. In those years, technology has made great strides forward. And there are still more advanced Casio watches released on the market every day. So what is the appeal of the - relatively simple - Casio Vintage watches?

The Back to the Future effect

In the 1980s, the ultra-modern Casio watches were an important part of popular culture. One of the best-known examples is the calculator watch worn by Michael J. Fox in the Back to the future films. Partly because of these films, the CA-50 watch became a big hit. Now that the 80s are back in fashion, the CA-53 calculator watch is the watch that completes your retro outfit.

But it's not all nostalgia that makes fans love these watches. An important Casio innovation from the eighties still lies at the basis of many modern watches today. The combination of a 'normal' dial with hands containing a digital window with additional information ('analog-digital' watches) was revolutionary. The watches from the AQ230 series are still a popular model from the Vintage collection.

'Friendly' shaped Casio Vintage watches

Another important factor in the appeal of Casio Vintage watches is the unique shape. A square with sloping corners that makes the watch look friendly. This shape originated in the 1990s with the A152 series and is still very characteristic of Casio and Casio G-Shock to this day.

Modern-luxury versions of classic models

The name Casio Vintage may be a bit confusing. Because many people associate 'vintage' with second-hand. A little musty and dusty. And these watches are anything but that! Although the watches often resemble the models of a few decades ago, the technology and materials used are really of today. For example,in the 1980s the case of these watches was often made of painted plastic for cost reasons but today of metal.

But Casio Vintage watches are also a lot more luxurious in other details than their illustrious predecessors. With, for example, mother-of-pearl dials, modern steel mesh straps and even real diamonds for decoration, Casio takes the 'vintage' watch to a whole new level.
