Casio has listed its new AQ-240E series in the US, expanding its Vintage lineup with three models scheduled for April 2026. The range includes the AQ-240E-2A, AQ-240E-4A, and AQ-240E-7A2, all built around a hybrid analog-digital format and a retro-inspired design.
The watches feature a rounded square case that softens the sharper edges seen on older models like the AQ-230. The case measures 40.9 × 35.8 × 8.1 mm and weighs 51 g. It uses a chrome-plated resin case and bezel paired with a stainless steel band with an adjustable clasp. The band fits wrist sizes from 150 to 205 mm.
Each model uses a pastel dial finish. The 2A variant comes with a light blue sunray dial, while the 4A uses a matte orange tone, and the 7A2 features an off-white finish. The dial layout remains consistent across all versions, with two analog hands and a slim digital display positioned at six o’clock. The wide dial uses slim indexes and a clean layout to maintain readability.
The AQ-240E runs on Casio’s Module 5154. Core features include dual time, world time, a 1/100-second stopwatch with a measuring capacity of 59 minutes and 59.99 seconds, daily alarm, hourly time signal, and an auto-calendar that accounts for February with 28 days. The watch supports both 12-hour and 24-hour formats. The analog display shows hours and minutes, while the digital screen displays time, seconds, date, and day.
Accuracy is rated at ±30 seconds per month. The watch is powered by an SR920W battery with an estimated life of about three years. It uses resin glass for protection and offers basic water resistance suitable for daily use.
The design focuses on a retro-modern look with gentle curves and warm tones, combined with a simple rectangular profile. Pricing has not been officially confirmed, but earlier information suggests it will be around $60, in line with existing AQ-240E models.
