Retro looks loved across generations, enhanced with premium metallic shine.
CASIO CLASSIC is popular for its high cost performance, offering excellent design and durability at an accessible price point. Among these, the highly sought-after PREMIUM series features full-metal models with a refined texture from metallic finishes, evoking the retro designs of the 1970s and 80s. Now, this series introduces three models that recreate the "52QS-14B," a front-button model released in the late 1970s, using the same full-metal case as the original.
The case, meticulously finished with hairline and mirror polishing, and the iconic metallic front buttons create a sophisticated casual feel. The subtly engraved function indicators also enhance the premium look. The bracelet features a flat, multi-row design, balancing retro aesthetics with comfortable wear.
Available in three colors: silver, which highlights the metallic material, and black and gold, achieved through IP treatment on the bracelet. The black model (A1100B) features a green LCD, reminiscent of retro gadget devices.
All three models are equipped with convenient functions, including an LED backlight for legibility in the dark, stopwatch, and alarm.
