Timex T78677

A great watch for those not too fussy about going after expensive collectors item watches.

Also available in a variety of colours, for more info check out our Timex section.

Casio AL180AMVV Solar Watch

I guess the naming process for watch companies in the 80′s was handled by the accounting department, however again this watch just speaks volumes with its unique design and style.

Buy it!

Casio A168 Gold

The poster boy for retro watches, this iconic watch has graced fashion in and out for over two decades.

Simple and functional, its design represents an era gone by. Look out for its silver counterpart too.

Casio Retro Watches

Posted on April 13, 2012 by admin

One of the most prolific producers of watches that these days are considered vintage is the company Casio. Founded in Japan in 1946, the company originally produced calculators. There first model, which was considered small and portable at the time, was the size of a desk! Most of Casio’s watches that were made in the 80s had no intention of gaining popularity for future generations.

These watches reflected the age they came from; metal and sleek, utilising what was then state of the art LCD screens and other technology (woah, back light!). Casio Retro Watches are probably the most sought after, they look good, have a decent price, and do not require an extensive man hunt just to get your self one of them.

Bellow is my extensive list of Casio Retro Watches for your benefit:

Casio A168 Silver

This is Casio’s classic retro watch, available at a decent price and is quite durable. Also available in Gold (scroll down if you are looking for that one)

Casio A168 Gold

This is the identical watch as the one before, just that its colour is gold instead of silver. Very stylish unisex watch, I have one myself and you cant go wrong with it.

Casio A158 Silver

Another classic Casio retro watch, this one is very much similar in appearance to the Casio A168, although its face type and layout is different. Its also available in gold colour.

Casio LA670 Gold

This watch looks amazing, its very small and thin, and weighs not much. However it is still durable and functional, and is marketed by Casio originally as a sports watch for women.

Casio DB520
DB stands for Data Bank, which refers to the then vast amounts of data that could be placed within and stored. These watches were targeted in the 80s to businessmen and any other profession that “just might need to store data on a watch”. Regardless of what you use it for the DB520 looks sweet!

Casio DB520 Silver

The same tidy little calculator watch as the one above, just in silver colouring. Get at at Amazon for under around 40 bucks if you’re cool enough.

Casio AL180AMVV

DAAAAMN! This watch looks super sweet! Bad ass 80s solar panels mixed with its retro LCD display makes this watch stand out from the rest! This probably was worn in back to the future but dont quote me on that yo!

Casio F91

As standard as you can get, this functional watch has an iconic look that is recognizable around the world. Cheap (damn cheap) and durable, the F91 is a favourite of bomb makers as a reliable timing device (seriously!). What ever you plan to do with this nifty little guy is up to you.

Casio CA53W

Another Databank watch by Casio, full of features and practicality (although the buttons are a tad small, this is another run of the mill awesome casio retro watch. It is what it is!

Casio LCF20-9

This retro watch is definitely different from the rest of the pack! Its bright colouring and futuristic (well what they thought would be the future) face type make it a perfect woman’s watch.
Grab one for under 30 bucks and don’t look back, never look back.

Casio DBC610

WOW. This one is amazing! This databank is hands down the king of the calculator watch wearing world, hands down! Also I was surprised to see how small and slender this watch really is in real life, no joke this thing is tiny for its size (to be honest it makes doing math a bit of a chore when the buttons are so small, but who cares right?!)

Casio LA670 Silver

This is the silver coloured version of the model mentioned earlier, I personally think the silver one looks way better! Check it out, get it for under 20 bucks and do as you please.

Casio DBC610 Gold

The 610 Gold is probably my favourite of the casio retro watches out there, hands down! Its sleek and small (surprisingly so, the buttons are tiny!) with a calculator built in just in case you need to do some next level maths where ever you might be at 3 am. This watch just looks so damn cool, grab one for under 70 bucks if you can handle the pressure yo.

Casio F105 Black

Like the F91, the Casio F105 is a familiar watch to most of us. A lot of people just use it for casual functionality, but hey it still looks great as a dress watch regardless of its humble purpose. Also this one is quite affordable, grab it for under 15 bucks and you got yourself a deal.

Casio AL190

Another great looking solar watch, with a nice LCD display this watch is less common then some of the other models that everyone has like the A168. comes in stainless steel and is packed with functionality.

Casio A159

Simply amazing, this model contains the LCD face type of some of the more sportier watches with the strap and housing of the classic A168. This watch is definitely in my to buy list, not that many people have it since it is considerably more expensive than say the more common A168. Get it for under 70 bucks.

Casio A158

The Casio A158 is fairly rare and as far as I can tell only retails from Clicktime on Amazon. Looks smashing, nothing more to say here!

Casio DB380

The Casio DB380 is another sweet looking Databank casio retro watch. Looks great, and again like the other Databank watches by Casio is actually much smaller and thinner then what one might expect. Find one for under 50 bucks (cheapest databank I can find)
