The Casio MTP-1183A-2A is a compelling example of accessible Swiss-inspired design executed with Japanese precision. This quartz timepiece features a striking sunburst blue dial complemented by polished steel indices and hands, all housed within a 38.5mm stainless steel case that sits comfortably on the wrist at just 8.7mm thick. The date window at 3 o'clock adds practical functionality to a dial layout that emphasises clarity and legibility—hallmarks of Casio's design philosophy.
Built for everyday wear, the MTP-1183A-2A pairs its ion-plated case and bezel with a three-link stainless steel bracelet secured by a triple-fold clasp. The mineral crystal protects the dial from daily wear, while water resistance ensures the watch can withstand incidental exposure to moisture. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised dealer for CASIO watches, offering genuine timepieces backed by full manufacturer warranties and comprehensive after-sales support.
Powered by a reliable SR626SW battery with an approximate two-year lifespan, this quartz movement delivers accuracy within ±20 seconds per month—a testament to Casio's engineering heritage.

FAQ
Q: Is the Casio MTP-1183A-2A suitable for swimming?
A: This watch is water resistant but not rated for swimming or submersion. It can withstand splashes, rain, and hand washing, but should not be worn while swimming, showering, or in any situation involving water immersion.
Q: How long will the battery last and where can I get it replaced?
A: The SR626SW battery provides approximately 2 years of operation under normal use. When replacement is needed, visit our Mall of the South boutique where our technicians can install a genuine battery and pressure-test the watch to ensure continued water resistance.
Q: What is the actual wrist size this watch will fit?
A: The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by removing links to fit most wrist sizes, typically from 15cm to 20cm comfortably. We offer complimentary bracelet sizing with every purchase at our boutique, or our team can guide you through sizing for delivery orders.
Q: Does this watch have a screw-down crown?
A: No, the MTP-1183A-2A features a standard push-pull crown for time and date adjustment. This is appropriate for its water resistance rating and ensures easy operation for daily adjustments.
Q: Is the dial truly blue or more black in certain lighting?
A: The dial is a rich blue colour with a sunburst finish that creates depth and dimension. In low light it may appear darker, but in daylight and under most indoor lighting the blue colour is clearly visible and complemented by attractive radial brushing.
Q: Does this watch come with the original Casio box and papers?
A: Yes, every Casio watch purchased from Cassims & Co. comes complete with the original manufacturer's packaging, instruction manual, and warranty card stamped by our authorised dealership, ensuring full warranty coverage.
Q: What is the accuracy specification and can it be regulated?
A: This quartz movement is accurate to ±20 seconds per month, which is typical for quality quartz calibres. Unlike mechanical watches, quartz movements do not require or benefit from regulation—accuracy is inherent to the electronic oscillator and remains consistent throughout the battery life.
Warranty
- This watch carries a 1-year international Casio warranty from the date of purchase, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches to the case, crystal, or bracelet, nor does it cover consumable items such as the battery or bracelet spring bars.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, such as operating the crown underwater or exceeding the watch's water resistance rating, is not covered under warranty.
- Accidental damage, impacts, modifications, or repairs carried out by non-authorised service centres will void the warranty.
- To make a warranty claim, the original purchase receipt and completed warranty card must be presented.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove perspiration, dirt, and oils that can accumulate during wear.
- For deeper cleaning of the stainless steel bracelet, use a soft brush with mild soap and lukewarm water, ensuring the crown is pushed fully in. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth immediately after cleaning.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, which can damage seals and finishes.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet, as this can compromise water resistance and allow moisture ingress.
- Have the battery replaced promptly when the watch stops or shows signs of low power. A depleted battery left in the watch can leak and cause internal damage.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn. A watch box or pouch will protect it from dust and scratches.
- Even though this watch is water resistant, we recommend avoiding water exposure where possible and having the gaskets inspected during battery changes to maintain the seal integrity.
- If the watch is not worn regularly, operate the crown and advance the time and date monthly to keep the movement lubricated and functional.
