CASIO VINTAGE — A PIECE OF CONTEMPORARY HISTORY
In 1974, the Japanese company CASIO set a milestone in the history of watches by developing one of the first digital wristwatches in the world.
The CASIO Vintage collection skillfully transports the stylish and characteristic watch design of the 70s and 80s into the present.
Here is a brief overview of the last few decades and how they still influence us today.
The 70er
"Make Love not War" was the motto of the Flower Power movement in the 70s.
Hippie culture influenced the fashion of the decade and became a mega trend along with disco fashion:
Clogs and platform shoes, flared pants and floral prints, hot pants, jumpsuits and overalls.
1974
CASIO set a milestone in watch history in 1974 with the Casiotron.
The world's first LCD wristwatch, with a fully automatic calendar.
Today
Fashion in the 70s was about individuality and the expression of personality.
We love this idea, and that's why ourB640 glitter is our homage to 70s disco glam.
The 80er
In terms of fashion, the 80s meant shoulder pads and puffy sleeves, oversize blazers and carrot pants.
Thanks to dance movies like Flashdance and Dirty Dancing, leggings, bodysuits and legwarmers, especially in neon colors, were in hot demand. Anything went as long as it was funky and wild.
1980
The revolutionary calculator watch C-80 was referred to as a "microcomputer" for the wrist. CASIO's computer technology was used in the keyboard.
1984
CASIO's idea behind the model: The wristwatch evolved from a timepiece to an information device on the wrist. The CD-40 had memory for 10 phone numbers of 16 characters each and thus replaced the phone book on a small scale. It turned into a successful concept and six million units were sold over the next five years.
1984
CASIO presented the first wristwatch with combined digital-analog display. The successor model AQ-230 is still popular today.
1985
The "Paperwatch" PELA FS-10 was the flattest wristwatch in the world.
The idea behind it: The watch case and strap were made of one piece. At only 3.9 mm in height and weighing 12 g, the PELA gained instant popularity. It was the first watch model to reach sales figures in the millions.
The 90er
Time for techno and hip hop:
In the 90s, people expressed their fashion choices with flashy outfits in bright colors and platform shoes as ravers
or by wearing extra-wide baggy pants to hip-hop beats. Whether comfortable or experimental: Anything went as long as it was loud.
1995
Thanks to radio signal reception, FKT-100 models always show the correct time.
1990
Vintage models, like the A159WGEA-1, became all-time classics.
The typical watch case shape became the characteristic feature of the brand.
Today
A mix of digital and analog watch — very much in the style of the FKT-100 model from the 90s,
CASIO Vintage also has something in store in the current line-up with the models of the AQ series.
The 2000er
Welcome to the 21st century!
Be it a futuristic look with metallic fabrics or a complete denim outfit, one thing was clear: In the first decade of the new millennium
with hip jeans and belly tops, there was a lot of skin on display!
2001
A168WA-1: As a unisex model, the silver-colored A168WA impresses with its sporty look and functions such as stopwatch, alarm and automatic calendar.
2007

With a battery life of 10 years, the DBC-32D is a reliable partner.
Today
Matching watches to the provocative looks from the 2000s are available in the EDGY collection — EDGY stands for square and angular.
The charismatic watches from this collection will add that special something to any outfit.
The 10er
Modern fashion is a collection of highlights from decades past.
CASIO thought so, too, and has given the icons of the past from the CASIO Collection
a new shine — resulting in the birth of CASIO Vintage and something to suit every style.
