The Casio MTP-B185G-9AV represents the perfect fusion of retro-inspired design and modern versatility. This gold-tone timepiece showcases a distinctive squared case profile that draws from the iconic aesthetic codes of 1970s sports watches, reimagined for the contemporary wearer. The champagne-gold dial features a refined textured finish and gold-tone applied indices with matching hands, creating a cohesive monochromatic palette that exudes understated elegance.
Crafted from robust stainless steel with a warm gold ion-plated finish, the case measures 40mm lug-to-lug by 32.5mm in width, with a slim 7.3mm profile that sits comfortably under a shirt cuff. The integrated bracelet flows seamlessly from the case architecture, featuring brushed and polished surfaces that catch the light beautifully. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised CASIO retailer, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer backing and authentic provenance.
Powered by reliable Japanese quartz movement, this watch offers exceptional timekeeping accuracy within a 50-metre water-resistant case—suitable for everyday splashes and brief immersion. The date window positioned at 3 o'clock provides practical functionality without disrupting the dial's balanced symmetry. Whether you're building a collection or seeking a versatile daily companion, browse our full range of CASIO watches to discover timepieces that combine affordability with Japanese engineering excellence.
The adjustable stainless steel bracelet features a secure fold-over clasp, allowing for precise sizing adjustments to ensure optimal wrist comfort.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: The MTP-B185G has 50-metre water resistance, making it suitable for splashes, handwashing, and brief immersion. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or water sports, as the crown is not screw-down and prolonged water contact should be avoided.
Q: Does this watch require battery replacements?
A: Yes, this is a quartz movement watch powered by a replaceable battery. Battery life typically ranges from 2-3 years depending on usage. Our Johannesburg boutique offers battery replacement services for all CASIO timepieces purchased from us.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The stainless steel bracelet features removable links that can be professionally adjusted to your exact wrist size. Complimentary bracelet sizing is included with your purchase when you visit our Mall of the South location.
Q: Is the gold finish durable?
A: The gold-tone finish is achieved through ion-plating, which is more durable than traditional plating methods. While resistant to everyday wear, we recommend avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive surfaces, and prolonged exposure to chlorine or saltwater to maintain the finish over time.
Q: What is the lug width for strap changes?
A: This model features an integrated bracelet design where the bracelet flows seamlessly from the case without traditional lugs. The bracelet cannot be replaced with alternative straps, as it is purpose-designed as part of the watch's architectural aesthetic.
Q: Does this watch have any smart features or connectivity?
A: No, the MTP-B185G-9AV is a traditional analog quartz watch without Bluetooth connectivity or smart features. It offers pure, reliable timekeeping in a classic format focused on design and mechanical simplicity.
Q: Is the 1-year warranty valid for international travel?
A: Yes, the CASIO international warranty is honoured by authorised CASIO service centres globally. Retain your original proof of purchase from Cassims & Co. when travelling, as this verifies your warranty coverage from an authorised retailer.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after each wear to remove oils, perspiration, and debris.
- Water Exposure: While rated to 50 metres, avoid operating the crown when wet and dry the watch thoroughly after any water contact. Do not wear in the shower, sauna, or during water sports.
- Chemical Avoidance: Keep away from solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning agents, and chlorinated water, which can damage the gold ion-plating and seals.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, magnetic fields, and extreme temperatures when not wearing.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Periodically clean between bracelet links using a soft brush and lukewarm water with mild soap, then dry completely to prevent buildup.
- Crown Care: Ensure the crown is always pushed fully in against the case to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the second hand begins jumping or timekeeping becomes irregular. Never leave an exhausted battery inside the watch.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a professional inspection every 2-3 years to check seals, movement health, and overall condition.
- Impact Protection: Avoid impacts, drops, and contact with hard surfaces that could scratch the case, crystal, or bracelet finish.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep away from strong magnetic sources such as speakers, mobile phones, and magnetic clasps, which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
