Description
The Casio Vintage A168WGG-1A is an iconic digital timepiece that seamlessly blends retro aesthetics with modern functionality. Finished in a sophisticated gunmetal tone with black chrome plating, this quartz watch features a classic tonneau-shaped resin case measuring 38.6 × 36.3 × 9.6 mm, paired with a robust stainless steel bracelet and adjustable clasp. The digital display showcases Casio's renowned Electro Luminescence technology, offering exceptional legibility in low-light conditions with its signature illuminator function. Alarm and chronograph complications make this an ideal everyday timepiece for the discerning South African wearer who values both heritage design and practical versatility.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer of CASIO watches, ensuring that every timepiece we offer comes with full manufacturer support and authenticity guarantees. This A168WGG-1A reference is powered by a reliable quartz movement with an impressive seven-year battery life on a CR2016 cell, eliminating the need for frequent servicing while maintaining exceptional accuracy. The watch is water-resistant, making it suitable for daily wear in South African conditions, though not intended for swimming or submersion.
The gunmetal finish and black dial create a contemporary interpretation of Casio's legendary digital watch DNA, first established in the 1980s. The stainless steel bracelet offers durability and comfort, with a secure adjustable clasp that ensures a perfect fit on any wrist. Weighing just 49 grams, this timepiece delivers substantial presence without sacrificing comfort during extended wear. Whether you're navigating the business districts of Johannesburg or enjoying leisure time, the A168WGG-1A's alarm and chronograph functions provide essential utility wrapped in unmistakable vintage-inspired style.

Care guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and perspiration.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong magnetic fields, which can affect quartz accuracy.
- Do not operate the pushers or adjust settings while the watch is wet, as moisture may enter the case.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as it is not rated for submersion.
- If the bracelet becomes loose or requires adjustment, visit our Johannesburg showrooms for professional resizing.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre when the display dims or becomes difficult to read—this typically occurs after approximately seven years of use.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from chemicals, solvents, or cosmetics that may damage the black chrome plating.
- Avoid impact or dropping the watch, as this may damage the digital module or crack the resin case.
- Clean the stainless steel bracelet periodically with a slightly damp cloth, then dry thoroughly to maintain the gunmetal finish.
