Casio is releasing a new limited-edition watch in collaboration with the coffee and lifestyle brand Café Kitsuné. The AQ230ECK-3A is a modified version of Casio’s standard vintage-style analog-digital hybrid, updated with a matcha green color scheme. It is scheduled to go on sale later this month, priced at $120 in the US and ￥17,600 in Japan.

Design Details

The main design change from the standard AQ-230 model is the dial color. Casio replaced the usual metallic background with a muted green tone, which is intended to reference Japanese tea culture and Café Kitsuné’s specific branding.

The coffee retailer’s fox logo is printed on the lower half of the dial. Additional branding includes the Café Kitsuné logo engraved on the stainless steel case back and the adjustable clasp. The watch also ships in custom green packaging to match the dial.

Aside from the visual updates, the hardware remains identical to standard Casio Vintage models. The unisex case measures 38.8 x 29.8 x 8.1 mm and weighs 47 grams. The main body is constructed from resin with chrome plating, and a standard resin glass crystal covers the dial. The stainless steel band includes a self-adjustable clasp designed to fit wrist sizes ranging from 150 to 205 mm. The watch carries a basic water resistance rating.

The AQ230ECK-3A uses a hybrid display to separate its functions. The analog section features two hands for the hours and minutes. Below it, a small digital screen displays the hour, minute, second, month, date, and day. Built-in features include dual time tracking, a stopwatch, a daily alarm, and an hourly time signal.

The watch runs on a single SR920W battery, which Casio estimates will last approximately three years, and it maintains an accuracy of ±30 seconds per month.

In related news, Casio has recently launched the new AQ-240E watches with sleek navy and glossy black retro styling, while the company has also introduced the affordable MTP-VT06 watches in India with steel and leather strap options.
