Casio Vintage A158WETB-1AEF

This is the watch

The dark grey-black colour scheme gives the A158WETB-1AEF a more industrial look than the usual light digital watch. The display's straight fields, the marked buttons, and the multi-row bracelet enhance the compact retro format. The overall impression is therefore more subdued without losing the retro reference. It's an everyday Casio Vintage where the monochrome exterior allows the LCD digits and classic function layout to take centre stage.

Materials & fit

The outer dimensions are 36.8 × 33.2 mm, and the case has a height of 8.5 mm. The weight is 45 grams. The resin case has black chrome plating, while a resin glass covers the display. The steel bracelet is grey ion-plated and features an adjustable clasp. The dark finish unifies the colour between the sides of the case and all rows of the bracelet links. The narrower middle section of the links contrasts with the wider outer parts, continuing the stepped shape from the straight bottom edge of the case.
