These Casio Vintage Reissue Watches Are Everything
If you’re thinking, “Surely these Crown guys are taking the piss,” no, not even close.
Look, few pieces of human engineering hold a candle to the sexiness of a Longines, a Cartier or a beautiful Breitling (hey, Rolex doesn’t own this arena). Top quality’s all that matters around here and an expensive watch has its place in this world.
But that doesn't mean what’s affordable’s always cheap. Such a thing would be impossible, in fact, in the presence of these perfect, Marty McFly-worthy pieces of joy. Casio (a brand whose roots lie in 1950s Tokyo as the world’s first producer of electronic calculators) just launched a collection of vintage digital timepieces that pay homage to your reckless youth, and each comes appointed with specs that scream ‘80s without shame — 5-alarm systems, LED backlights with afterglow, Super Illuminator technology.
Super. Illuminator. Tech. No. Lo. Gy.
And you know these are built solid, what with the Japanese company’s rep for crafting tough toys that last, like their pound-for-pound champ — the G-Shock, otherwise known as the preferred watch of the U.S. military for its near-invincibility.
And look at that faux gold, vintage calculator watch reissue. Will all of you mathematicians need anything else in life after this? The answer’s “no.”
Is your iWatch as cool as this? Your iWatch wishes it eats croissants at the same table as these thoroughbreds.
You want more? Drop one of these in your gym pool, then pull it out and watch it work. That’s called 100 meter water-resilience, people.
These watches know exactly what they are, and they’re cool with that.
So don’t start with the Rolex comments.
If you want one, head to Canadian sexy sneaker and streetwear merchants, Livestock.
