Casio Expands AQ-240 Analog-Digital Watch Lineup with New Color Options

Casio is bolstering its popular AQ-240 analog-digital watch lineup with two new models, the AQ-240E-1A and AQ-240E-2A2, offering black and deep-blue sunburst dial options while retaining the watch’s signature squircle case and stainless-steel bracelet.

New Models and Design

The AQ-240E-1A features a moody black sunburst dial with slim metallic hour markers, while the AQ-240E-2A2 sports a deep blue dial. Both retain silver-tone hands, chrome-plated resin cases, and stainless-steel bracelets. The watches maintain the AQ-240’s distinctive softly curved case, giving it a retro aesthetic.

Technical Specifications

Measuring 40.9mm by 35.8mm and 8.1mm thick, the watches weigh 51g. They are powered by Casio’s Module 5154, offering dual time, world time, a 1/100-second stopwatch, daily alarm, hourly time signal, automatic calendar, and a choice of 12- or 24-hour digital time. The digital display is located on the bottom of the dial.

Availability and Pricing

Currently, the watches are only available in Japan, retailing for ¥7,700 (approximately $48). They are available for pre-order now, with a planned release later this month, though a U.S. release date has not yet been confirmed.
