The Casio Vintage AQ-240E-3ADF is a striking fusion of 1980s aesthetic charm and contemporary quartz precision, designed for those who appreciate retro-inspired horology with practical modern functionality. Housed in a polished stainless steel case measuring 40.9 × 35.8 × 8.1 mm, this ana-digi timepiece features a captivating teal gradient dial that shifts from deep blue-green to lighter tones, creating a visually dynamic experience on the wrist. The cushion-shaped case profile, reminiscent of classic Casio designs, is paired with an integrated stainless steel bracelet featuring a distinctive ridged construction that adjusts to fit wrists from 150 to 205mm.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised Casio retailer, offering this exceptional dual-time quartz watch with complete peace of mind. The AQ-240E combines an analogue upper dial with a digital lower display, providing simultaneous timekeeping in two time zones—an invaluable feature for frequent travellers or those maintaining international connections. The digital module includes a 1/100-second stopwatch with 59'59.99'' capacity, daily alarm functionality, and hourly time signal, all powered by reliable Japanese quartz movement ensuring accuracy to within seconds per month.
Water-resistant to 50 metres, this timepiece is suitable for everyday wear including splashes and brief immersion, though not recommended for swimming or water sports. The mineral crystal protects the dial while maintaining clarity, and the dual-crown design on the left case side controls both analogue and digital functions with intuitive ease. The teal dial is accented with slender gold-tone hands and minimalist baton indices, creating a sophisticated colour palette that elevates this watch beyond simple nostalgia into genuine contemporary style.

Warranty
- This Casio watch carries a 1-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase, valid worldwide when purchased from an authorised Casio retailer.

- The warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case, crystal or bracelet, battery replacement, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe water-resistance limitations, damage caused by accidents, improper handling, unauthorized modifications, or repairs performed by non-authorized service centres.
- To validate your warranty, retain your original purchase receipt from Cassim & Co. as proof of purchase from an authorised retailer.
- Warranty service must be performed by authorised Casio service centres. Cassim & Co. can facilitate warranty claims and provide guidance on the warranty process.

Care Guide
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, perspiration, and environmental residue.
- For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush to gently clean the bracelet links, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents which may damage seals or finishes.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Have the battery replaced promptly when the digital display begins to dim, as a depleted battery left in the watch may leak and cause internal damage.
- If the watch is not worn regularly, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the dial colour and prevent premature ageing of seals.
- We recommend having the watch inspected every 2-3 years by our service team to check gasket integrity and ensure continued water resistance.
- Avoid impacts, drops, and contact with hard surfaces that may scratch the mineral crystal or dent the case.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the warranty and may compromise the watch's integrity. Always consult authorised service centres for any technical work.
