Wearing: what it goes with

A black dial with white indices and hands on a silver bracelet - a classic monochrome combination that reads equally well on a shirt cuff and on a sweater or jacket sleeve. Thanks to its compact 36 mm diameter, the watch doesn't look bulky on the wrist and is suitable for those who prefer a restrained accessory rather than an accent piece. Water resistance of 50 m means you don't need to remove it before washing your hands or in the rain.

Difference: Japanese mechanism in an affordable format

Most watches in this price segment do not indicate the origin of the mechanism directly on the dial. Here, the "JAPAN MOVT" marking is not marketing, but literally part of the design, visible when looking at the watch. A Japanese quartz mechanism in a brass case with a two-year manufacturer's warranty - this is the level of reliability that is rarely found without a significant premium. The set comes in a black Casio metal case, making it a ready-made gift option.
