The Casio MTP-V001GL-1BUDF is a study in understated elegance, combining classic design principles with the precision engineering that has made Casio a global horological leader. Housed in a gold-tone stainless steel case measuring 45 × 38 × 8 mm, this timepiece features a striking black dial with oversized Arabic numeral hour markers finished in a complementary gold tone, ensuring exceptional legibility in all lighting conditions. The three-hand analogue display is powered by a reliable Japanese quartz movement, offering an accuracy of +/- 20 seconds per month—a testament to Casio's commitment to dependable timekeeping without the demands of daily winding or regular servicing.
The genuine brown leather strap, distinguished by its embossed crocodile pattern, provides both comfort and a refined aesthetic that transitions seamlessly from business settings to weekend leisure. A mineral crystal protects the dial from daily wear, whilst the water resistance to 1 atmosphere (approximately 10 metres) guards against incidental moisture exposure such as handwashing or light rain. At just 42 grams total weight, the MTP-V001GL achieves a remarkable balance between substantial presence and all-day wearability, making it an ideal everyday timepiece for those who appreciate accessible luxury without compromise.

Q: How often will I need to replace the battery?

Q: Can the leather strap be replaced if it wears out?

A: Yes, as an authorised Casio retailer, all watches purchased from Cassim & Co. are covered by the full 1-year international Casio manufacturer warranty. We facilitate warranty claims and provide ongoing after-sales support including servicing and repairs.
Warranty
- This Casio watch is covered by a 1-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including strap deterioration, crystal scratches, or case finish wear.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are considered consumable components.
- Water damage resulting from improper use, exceeding the stated water resistance rating, or operating the crown whilst submerged is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Damage caused by accidents, impacts, unauthorised modifications, or servicing by non-authorised personnel will void the warranty.
- To maintain warranty validity, retain your original proof of purchase and ensure any required servicing is performed by authorised Casio service centres or approved retailers.
- Cassim & Co. facilitates all warranty claims and provides comprehensive after-sales support for the duration of your warranty period and beyond.
Care Guide
- Wipe the case and crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and moisture residue.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or proximity to magnetic fields which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Do not operate the crown whilst the watch is wet, as this may compromise the water resistance seal.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as the 1 ATM rating provides only splash resistance.
- Keep the leather strap dry whenever possible. If the strap becomes wet, allow it to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Avoid contact between the leather strap and cosmetics, perfumes, solvents, or oils, as these may cause discolouration or deterioration.
- Condition the leather strap occasionally with a suitable leather care product to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry environment when not being worn, preferably in a watch box or pouch to protect against dust and scratches.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the second hand begins to jump in two-second intervals (battery end-of-life indicator) or when timekeeping becomes erratic.
- Bring the watch to our servicing team for periodic inspection and cleaning to ensure all seals and components remain in optimal condition.
