Casio MTP-B146 officially arrives in the US: Unique retro design with day of the week display at the 12 o'clock position.
The Casio MTP-B146 watch series, with its 1980s style, impresses with its arc-shaped day-of-the-week window at the 12 o'clock position and an accessible price starting from just $110.
After more than a year since its international launch, Casio has officially brought its retro-styled MTP-B146 collection to the US market. This product line quickly attracted attention thanks to its combination of 1980s design language and a unique time display structure, especially the day of the week window prominently positioned at 12 o'clock.
The design highlight comes from the arched day of the week calendar window.
The biggest appeal of the MTP-B146 series lies in its classic round dial and color scheme, which Casio describes as "immersing the user in the atmosphere of the 1980s." The most significant difference from the previous MTP-B145 series is the arc-shaped day-of-the-week window located just below the 12 o'clock mark, creating a balanced and unique appearance.
This design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also allows users to easily and intuitively observe the date and day of the week. Combined with a compact date window at the 3 o'clock position, it creates a traditional three-hand analog layout that is still fully functional for everyday use.
Three subtle color variations
In the US market, Casio introduced three of its most popular versions based on user votes. Each version offers a distinct personality, ranging from classic elegance to a luxurious, modern look:
- MTP-B146D-1AV:A safe and timeless combination of a silver case and a mysterious black dial.
- MTP-B146D-2AV:With its modern design and light blue dial, it creates a youthful and elegant feel.
- MTP-B146G-3AV:The most premium version in the collection features a case and strap entirely plated in gold ion, combined with a striking emerald green dial.
