Casio MTP-B185: The ultra-thin square-faced watch series officially launched.
Casio has just introduced the MTP-B185 collection to the US market, featuring a classic square face design and an impressively slim profile of just 7.3 mm, reminiscent of 1970s dress watches.
Casio has officially listed four new models in the MTP-B185 series on its US website. This collection is aimed at users who appreciate minimalist, elegant style with square cases and integrated straps, reminiscent of luxury watches from the 1970s.
Retro and ultra-slim design language
The biggest highlight of the MTP-B185 series is its ultra-slim design. At just 7.3 mm thick, this watch easily fits under a shirt cuff, making it suitable for both office environments and formal events. The case measures 40 × 32.5 mm, creating a balance between classic style and modern trends.
The dial design is minimalist, featuring three hands (hour, minute, second) and index-only hour markers, without any distracting sub-dials. A small date window is positioned at 6 o'clock, maintaining symmetry in the overall design. The entire case and bracelet are made of stainless steel, combined with a mineral glass crystal to protect the watch from basic physical impacts.
