Casio AQ-240EG-3A Brings Gold and Deep Green to the Retro Analog-Digital Watch

Casio is giving its retro AQ-240 lineup a richer finish. The new Casio AQ-240EG-3A combines a resin case/bezel with a gold-tone finish and a stainless-steel band with gold ion plating, plus a deep-green sunray dial, while keeping the familiar analog-digital layout and everyday functionality of the AQ-240 series.

Casio AQ-240EG-3A Gets a Gold-and-Green Makeover

Casio lists the Casio AQ-240EG-3A for October 2026 in Japan at ¥9,900, including tax. That price applies to the Japanese market and should not be treated as a confirmed global or Indian price.

The Casio watch uses a resin case with a gold-tone finish and a stainless-steel band with gold ion plating. Its deep-green sunray-finish dial provides the biggest visual contrast, set against the gold-colored exterior. The result stays firmly in Casio’s retro-modern territory rather than moving toward a smartwatch-style design.

Analog-Digital Layout Keeps the Retro Character

The AQ-240EG-3A combines traditional analog hands with a digital display, giving the watch a distinctly old-school Casio character while keeping practical digital functions accessible.

The self-adjustable band fits wrists measuring 150–205mm, giving the watch a flexible everyday fit.

Casio AQ-240EG-3A Specifications and Features

Despite its styling focus, the AQ-240EG-3A keeps the practical functions expected from a digital Casio. It supports dual time, a 1/100-second stopwatch, a daily alarm, an hourly time signal, and an auto-calendar. Users can also switch between 12-hour and 24-hour formats.

Power comes from an SR920W battery, and Casio rates battery life at about three years. The watch also features resin glass and everyday water resistance, keeping the specification focused on routine daily use rather than adding smartwatch-style connected features.

A Design Refresh Rather Than a Technical Upgrade

The Casio AQ-240EG-3A is best understood as a retro-design refresh. It has no smartwatch connectivity or major new movement technology. Instead, Casio is using a new color combination to give the familiar AQ-240 platform a different personality.

The deep-green dial and gold-tone exterior make this version more visually distinctive while preserving the compact analog-digital format that defines the series.

For buyers interested in this particular colorway, the key detail is that ¥9,900 is Casio’s Japanese price. Confirm availability and pricing in other markets, including India, through local Casio listings.

Why the Casio AQ-240EG-3A Still Works as an Everyday Watch

The Casio AQ-240EG-3A also makes a case for the continued appeal of compact analog-digital watches in an era dominated by connected wearables. At 40.9mm long, 35.8mm wide, and just 8.1mm thick, the watch keeps a relatively restrained footprint while combining physical hands with a digital information panel.

That layout provides access to practical functions such as dual time, stopwatch timing, an alarm, and a calendar without adding the notifications, charging requirements, or software ecosystem associated with a smartwatch. The deep-green sunray dial is arguably the biggest visual draw, especially when paired with the gold-tone case and bracelet.

Casio’s three-year battery rating further reinforces the Casio watch’s low-maintenance character. The self-adjustable bracelet, meanwhile, supports wrists from 150mm to 205mm. It’s less about introducing a new category of functionality and more about giving the established AQ-240 design a distinctive finish for buyers who prefer traditional watches with a touch of digital utility.

Conclusion

The Casio AQ-240EG-3A brings a deep-green dial and gold-tone finish to the retro analog-digital AQ-240 lineup. It’s a color refresh with the Classic Casio character.
