Casio is giving its long-running AQ-230 analog-digital design a limited-edition makeover with the AQ-230ECK-3A, developed with Café Kitsuné. The watch pairs a matcha-green dial with Café Kitsuné branding and is scheduled to go on sale in Germany from September 8 for €99.90. A US price of $120 has also been listed.
The collaboration retains the AQ-230’s compact rectangular format, placing a two-hand analog watch face above a small digital display. The green dial carries the Café Kitsuné fox near its lower edge, while collaboration branding is engraved on the case back and bracelet clasp. Casio is also including themed green packaging.
Its hardware remains deliberately simple: the AQ-230ECK-3A measures 38.8 × 29.8 × 8.1 mm and weighs 47 g, with a chrome-plated resin case and stainless-steel bracelet. Features include dual time, a 1/100-second stopwatch, alarm, hourly time signal, automatic calendar and 12/24-hour display formats. Casio rates it for basic water resistance and quotes accuracy of ±30 seconds per month.
Power comes from an SR920W battery rated for about three years, rather than rechargeable smartwatch hardware. There is no Bluetooth, GPS, health sensor suite or notification support; the appeal is the compact 1980s-style form factor and the Café Kitsuné treatment rather than connected features. Casio has confirmed the German release, while wider regional availability has not been detailed in the provided information.
