The Casio Vintage A159WEVJ-7DR pays homage to the brand's iconic digital heritage, reimagined with a distinctive Japanese Seigaiha wave pattern adorning its digital dial. This classic timepiece captures the essence of retro-futurism, blending Casio's pioneering digital watch design from the 1980s with contemporary cultural motifs that celebrate traditional artistry. The chrome-plated resin case measures a compact 36.8 × 33.2 × 8.5 mm, sitting comfortably on the wrist while the patterned dial adds visual intrigue to an otherwise minimalist silhouette. At Cassim & Co., we recognise this watch as an accessible entry point into horology for those who appreciate both vintage aesthetics and reliable Japanese quartz engineering.
Powered by a long-life CR2016 battery offering approximately seven years of operation, the A159WEVJ-7DR eliminates the inconvenience of frequent battery changes while delivering the precision timekeeping Casio is renowned for. The digital module includes practical daily functions such as a 1/100-second stopwatch with elapsed time, split time, and 1st-2nd place timing capabilities, alongside a daily alarm and hourly time signal. Water resistance ensures protection during daily wear, though this is not a dive-rated instrument. The stainless steel bracelet with adjustable clasp provides both durability and all-day comfort, making this watch suitable for casual and smart-casual settings alike.
This particular reference represents Casio's commitment to offering exceptional value without compromising on build quality or functional versatility. The Seigaiha wave pattern, a traditional Japanese motif symbolising calm seas and peaceful times, transforms the digital display window into a subtle work of art.

- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, crystal damage, or deterioration of the chrome plating over time.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as battery depletion is a normal consumable expense.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, such as operating pushers underwater or exposing the watch to water beyond its resistance rating, is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Damage caused by accidents, improper handling, unauthorised repairs, or modifications voids the warranty.
- To claim warranty service, present your original proof of purchase from Cassim & Co. along with the watch to our Mall of the South boutique or contact our customer service team.

Care Guide
- Clean the stainless steel bracelet and chrome-plated case regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.
- Avoid exposing the watch to chemicals, solvents, detergents, perfumes, or cosmetics, which may damage the chrome plating or affect the digital module.
- Do not operate the pushers (stopwatch, alarm, mode buttons) while the watch is wet, as moisture may enter the case.
- Although water resistant, remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports to preserve the seals and chrome finish.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use, as prolonged UV exposure may affect the resin case material.
- If the digital display becomes faint or unresponsive, the battery may need replacement. Visit Cassim & Co. for professional battery service to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Avoid impact or dropping the watch, as the mineral crystal and digital module can be damaged by shock.
- Have the bracelet and clasp inspected periodically to ensure all links and pins remain secure.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the warranty and may compromise water resistance.
