The Casio AQ-230A-7B is a masterclass in functional simplicity, blending retro aesthetic with dual-display technology in a compact, wearable package. This iconic timepiece features a crisp white analogue dial with Arabic numerals housed within a distinctive rectangular case, complemented by a small digital LCD window that displays time, date, and stopwatch functions. The stainless steel bracelet and chrome-plated bezel lend a touch of refinement to this everyday companion, making it equally at home in the boardroom or at the weekend braai.
Powered by a reliable quartz movement with an approximate battery life of three years, this watch delivers the accuracy and dependability Casio is renowned for. The dual-time function allows you to track two time zones simultaneously, while the 1/100-second digital stopwatch offers precision timing up to 59'59.99". An auto calendar, daily alarm, and hourly time signal round out the feature set, ensuring this compact chronograph punches well above its weight class. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for CASIO watches, offering the full backing of the brand's international warranty and after-sales support.
Measuring 38.8 × 29.8 × 8.1 mm, the AQ-230A-7B sits comfortably on the wrist without excessive bulk, weighing just 47 grams. The water-resistant construction provides peace of mind during everyday wear, though this is not a dive watch. Its retro design has remained unchanged for decades, a testament to the enduring appeal of Casio's vintage collection. Whether you're a collector of classic digital-analogue hybrids or simply seeking a functional daily wearer, this timepiece delivers uncompromising value.
