Casio Vintage A168WEHA-9AEF Iconic Heritage Colors Mens Watch
With this watch, Casio pays tribute to the legendary SL-800 from 1983, once hailed as the world's thinnest pocket calculator. With its compact size, barely larger than a credit card, and an eight-digit display, the SL-800 set new standards in technology and paved the way for Casio's future innovations. The A168 is Casio's homage to this era, adopting the iconic black and gold base colours of the SL-800 and even the colour details of the time numerals and other elements. This watch is a living time capsule that combines 80s design with modern style.
Measuring an impressive 85 mm x 54 mm, just 0.8 mm thick and weighing 12 g, the SL-800 became a symbol of the trend towards thinner, lighter and more compact products. Its pioneering role in the history of technology was recognised in 2013, when it was awarded the title of Important Historical Material by the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo.
Measuring 38.6 × 36.3 × 9.6 mm and weighing 49 g, the A168 watch combines past and present. Its resin and chrome case, combined with a stainless steel bracelet and adjustable clasp, offers style and comfort for everyday wear. Its water-resistance underlines its suitability for everyday use.
With a battery life of approximately 7 years thanks to the CR2016 battery, the watch promises long-term reliability. The resin crystal protects the dial and the adjustable strap ensures a personalised fit on wrists between 145 and 205 mm.
Other functions include a 1/100-second stopwatch, elapsed time, split time and ranking time modes, a daily alarm, an hour signal and an electroluminescent backlight. The automatic calendar even includes the month of February with 28 days, and the watch can switch between 12- and 24-hour formats.
Much more than just a timepiece, this watch is a testament to Casio's inventive spirit and the fascination of the 1980s. With its combination of nostalgic design and modern functionality, it appeals to those who appreciate the uniqueness of the era without giving up today's technology.
