Discover the Casio M-Edition watch, a digital timepiece inspired by Leica rangefinder cameras. Features red dot design, leather strap, and 10 ATM water resistance. Priced at 150 GBP in the UK.
Casio has unveiled an unusual digital watch called the M-Edition, with a design that clearly pays homage to the legendary Leica M rangefinder cameras. Developed in collaboration with UK photography retailer PPP Cameras, this model stands out noticeably from the brand's standard offerings.
The watch is based on the popular Casio AE-1200WH series but features a significantly redesigned exterior. The main visual highlight is a red circular window in the top-left corner of the dial, directly reminiscent of Leica's signature red dot. The display backlight is also red, echoing the exposure meter indicators of classic Leica M cameras. Completing the look are a leather strap inspired by camera leather trim and a metal case.
The Casio M-Edition comes in silver and black colorways. The black version features an inverted display with white characters on a dark background. Functionally, it remains typical for Casio, offering four time zones, five alarms, a stopwatch, a timer, water resistance up to 10 ATM, and a claimed battery life of up to ten years.
PPP Cameras is handling sales of the Casio M-Edition in the UK. The watch is priced at 150 British pounds, with potential additional costs for shipping and import when ordering to other European countries.
