Casio has teamed up with the British design firm Liberty London to launch a unique collection of vintage watches, now available in the US. The limited-edition timepieces, named AQ230EBLT-1A and AQ230ELT-7A, showcase Liberty’s iconic Paisley Fanfare pattern that is laser-etched across the dial and bracelet. This marks the first time these special models are being sold directly on Casio’s US website, following their initial release in the UK.
Unique Design Features
These watches draw inspiration from the popular AQ-230 model, known for its slim, rectangular analog-digital design that has garnered a loyal fanbase. The Liberty editions embrace this style by adorning almost every visible surface with Liberty’s intricate artwork. The metal band, clasp, dial, and even the case back feature engraved designs. Specifically, the AQ230EBLT-1A boasts a dark aesthetic with black ion plating and gray highlights, creating a stylish yet stealthy appearance. On the other hand, the AQ230ELT-7A is fully silver-toned, including the dial, and showcases the same pattern with a shinier finish and less contrast.
Specifications and Features
When it comes to technical specifications, both watches come equipped with the typical features associated with the AQ-230 line: dual time, a stopwatch, a daily alarm, an auto calendar, and the option for 12/24-hour time formats. The analog display indicates hours and minutes, while the digital screen provides time, date, and seconds. These watches are powered by quartz movements and are designed to be water-resistant, with an expected battery life of three years. Additionally, they are packaged in themed presentation boxes that echo the engraved designs of the watches.
Pricing and Availability
The price for the silver AQ230ELT-7A is set at $120, while the gunmetal AQ230EBLT-1A is available for $140. Both models can be purchased directly from Casio’s online store.
