Casio has unveiled two new additions to its Standard Collection in Japan, the MTP-1440DJ-1A and MTP-1440DJ-7B. Both analog watches are set to launch later this month and will retail for ¥7,700 (around $49).
Design Details
Both watches use the same case and bracelet design, with the main difference being the dial. The MTP-1440DJ-1A features a black dial with baton-style markers for a cleaner look, while the MTP-1440DJ-7B uses a white dial with large Arabic numerals for improved readability and a more casual appearance.
The watches feature a compact 41 x 36.3 x 8.6 mm case and weigh 92 grams, keeping them relatively lightweight despite their metal bracelet construction. Casio pairs the stainless steel bracelet with a one-touch triple-fold clasp, while the watch case is made from brass and finished with a silver ion-plated coating.
The dial is protected by standard mineral glass. These are standard material compromises at this price tier, keeping manufacturing costs down while maintaining a classic metallic look.
Functionally, both models are simple three-hand analog quartz watches. They feature a dual day and date window located at the 3 o’clock position. The watches are rated for 5 ATM (50 meters) of water resistance, which is sufficient to survive splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, though they are not intended for swimming.
Internally, the quartz movement runs on a standard battery with an expected lifespan of approximately three years. Both models are currently available for pre-order through Casio’s online store ahead of their official rollout later this month.
In related news, Casio has recently launched the Vintage A1000SP-7, a retro-inspired watch featuring a premium full-metal construction and sapphire crystal, and also introduced three new GravityMaster GWR-B3000 models in the US market.
