A.P.C. Teams Up with Casio Vintage for Two Minimalist Watches as Retro Style Returns
The silver model with a dark green dial is truly timeless
Summary
- The A.P.C. x Casio Vintage collaboration is built on the retro AQ-240 watch, featuring a practical dual analog and digital display.
- Available in classic gold or silver with a dark green dial, the design features the A.P.C. logo on both the watch face and clasp.
- The back of the watch is engraved with A.P.C.'s signature guitar and dagger graphic, adding a thoughtful detail.
- The collaborative watch releases on November 17, 2026, on the official A.P.C. and Casio websites and at select stores.
A.P.C. has joined forces with Casio Vintage to release two collaborative AQ-240 watches, retaining the retro dual analog-digital display. Available in silver with a dark green dial or classic gold, the watches feature a guitar-and-dagger engraving on the case back and launch November 17 at select official websites and stores.
A softly rounded retro silhouette
This collaboration centers on Casio’s AQ-240 model, featuring a square case with rounded corners and a dial finished in a subtle sunburst pattern. The dual analog and digital display keeps the retro charm of the original while making it practical to read at a glance—an understated look that feels distinctly A.P.C.
The front of the watch features minimalist A.P.C. branding on the dial and clasp, but the best detail is hidden from plain view. Flip it over, and you’ll find the brand’s iconic guitar and dagger logo engraved on the back. These two small engravings give the watch a fun, exclusive touch.
The gold and silver-green colorways each offer a distinct vibe. Whether you favor clean minimalist tailoring or throw on a pair of jeans, both styles fit easily into any daily outfit.
Slowing down the daily rhythm

To celebrate the release, A.P.C. and Casio tapped director Kersti Jan Werdal to shoot a short film titled “A Day with A.P.C. and Casio.” Free of complex plotlines, the film focuses on close-ups of hands and wrists: pulling utensils from a drawer at 12:55, resting a wrist on a payment reader at 13:55, and two watch-clad hands resting together at a café table by 15:00. By slowing down these small moments throughout the day and stamping the time in the corner, it gently invites you to slow down your own pace.
