Product Insights
The Casio Black Face Vintage Watch (100 CAD, in stock) combines analog and digital displays for dual time zone functionality within a compact rectangular 38.8×29.2mm case that fits under a shirt cuff and accepts standard 20mm straps. However, night readability requires manually activating the EL backlight as the analog hands lack luminous material, and while rated for 30m water resistance, immersion can damage the leather strap.
Verified claims
- Dual time zone
- Analog and digital displays with digital world time and dual time zone functionality: the analog hands and digital LCD run on separate quartz modules, so each can show a different time zone.
- Night readability
- Analog hands lack lume; night reading needs EL backlight.
- Backlight
- EL backlight is manually activated, evenly illuminates the digital LCD with a cool blue-green glow, and is the only night-reading method.
- Case dimensions
- Stainless steel rectangular case, 38.8 mm × 29.2 mm × 10.9 mm, is slim enough to fit under a shirt cuff and wears small.
- Lug width
- 20 mm lug width fits standard 20 mm straps.
- Water resistance
- 30 m / 3 ATM water resistance covers splashes, rain, and hand washing; the watch should not be worn swimming or showering, and immersion damages the leather strap.
- Vintage styling
- Black dial, clean proportional 38.8 mm-wide case, and vintage, classic, nostalgic, timeless styling place the watch in the Casio Vintage collection as a modern vintage-style design, not an actual vintage piece.
- Movement
- Japanese quartz movement drives the analog hands via a dedicated two-hand quartz module separate from the digital display's own quartz module, offering modern quartz reliability in a vintage-style watch rather than a mechanical movement.
- Model number
- The model is Casio AQ230EL-1A.

Everyday timekeeping with analog and digital displays
A simple two-hand watch for reading the time at a glance, backed by a small digital LCD window on the dial showing a segmented numeric readout. The digital display can be adjusted to a different time zone, which is handy when traveling. Per the merchant listing, it runs on Japanese quartz movement.[1,2]
Dialing in the strap fit on your wrist
For shoppers who want a watch that sits comfortably through daily wear, this Casio vintage model has an adjustable 20 mm leather strap with a tongue buckle. A row of punched adjustment holes lets you fine-tune where the strap closes, and a movable keeper loop near the buckle helps hold the loose end in place once you've found your fit.[1,3]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Black Face Vintage Watch: Choose this if you want a compact Casio analog-digital watch: it pairs a matte black dial with silver hands and a small digital LCD whose time display adjusts to your desired time zone, run by a two-hand Japanese quartz movement. Its stainless-steel case is water-resistant, and the adjustable 20 mm genuine leather strap with a tongue buckle comes in black with a croc-like embossed texture, in a one-size fit. A signature box is included, which suits gifting.[1,2,3] | Gold Vintage Digital Watch: Choose this if you want a retro gold-tone digital watch with the vintage look reviewers say delivers precisely the desired style and draws frequent compliments. It offers a glow-in-the-dark function, automatic date, a daily alarm, an hourly time signal, a 1/100th-second stopwatch, a water-resistant stainless-steel case, and a stainless steel band with a clip closure, with an approximate 7-year battery life on a CR2016. Note that some buyers expecting metal heft or a premium feel report disappointment, describing a lightweight case with a gold-painted finish, so this suits those prioritizing style over a substantial feel.[4,5,6] |
