Casio has released the Vintage A1000SP-7, a new stainless steel digital watch. After appearing on Casio’s global website earlier this month, the watch is now available in several regional markets, including China, India, and the Eurozone. Pricing is currently set at ￥1,690 in China, ₹16,995 in India, and €199 in Europe.
Design Details
The A1000SP-7 retains the familiar octagonal shape of older Casio digital models but replaces the usual resin construction with a stainless steel case and a solid stainless steel band.
The metal band features a one-touch three-fold clasp and uses a mix of brushed and polished finishes. It is a relatively thin watch, measuring 39.6 by 38 mm with a thickness of 7.3 mm, and it weighs 101 grams. Casio categorizes the dimensions and styling as a unisex design.
For the display cover, Casio is using a sapphire crystal rather than the acrylic or mineral glass found on its less expensive models. Sapphire is standard in higher-priced traditional watches because it is highly resistant to scratches.
Beneath the crystal, the watch face has a brass dial with a sunray finish. There is also a striped vapor deposition applied to the underside of the glass, which creates a subtle texture that shifts depending on the lighting and viewing angle.
Internally, the A1000SP-7 functions like a standard digital watch. It does not include any smart features, fitness tracking, or Bluetooth connectivity. The feature set is limited to a stopwatch, a daily alarm, an hourly time signal, and a basic auto-calendar. It supports both 12-hour and 24-hour time formats.
The watch is powered by a standard CR1616 coin-cell battery, which Casio estimates will last for about three years before needing a replacement. It also includes a white LED backlight for visibility in low light and has a basic water resistance rating suitable for everyday wear.
In related news, Casio has recently launched three new GravityMaster GWR-B3000 watches in the US, alongside a new limited-edition orange G-Shock model for collectors.
