A.P.C., the French fashion brand, has partnered with Casio to introduce a modern take on the classic A1000 watch model. This collaboration has two watches, the A1000ACD-7, and the A1000ACG-9, that draw from the 1970s style, merging vintage design with updated functionality.
The result is a unisex watch that combines style with practicality. The watch features an octagonal case and a minimalist dial with a clear LCD display for essential timekeeping. Mode indicators are subtly engraved on the case back, next to A.P.C.’s guitar dagger logo, adding to the design’s understated look.
Available in silver and gold, the watch offers a sleek contrast in colors. The mirrored dial and matte steel bracelet bring together different textures, while the adjustable bracelet ensures a comfortable fit for any wrist.
Though inspired by a vintage aesthetic, the watch includes modern features like a 1/100th-second stopwatch, daily alarm, hourly signal, and automatic calendar. It also comes with Casio’s Super Illuminator LED backlight for easy reading in low light. The watch is accurate to within 30 seconds per month and has a battery life of up to three years with a CR1616 battery.
The A.P.C. x Casio A1000 is currently available in Europe, priced at €169 for the silver version and €189 for the gold. Availability in other regions has not yet been announced.
In other news, Casio’s Shiba Inu-inspired G-Shock collection is set to launch in the U.S. in November, following a successful Japan release. The line features three models inspired by Shiba Inu color variations—sesame (brown), black, and white—each with unique designs and G-Shock durability. Prices range around $130–$140, and each watch includes features like stopwatch functions, countdown timers, shock resistance, water resistance up to 200 meters, and a two-year battery life.
