The Dawn of a New Era: Casio Embraces World Time

In the late 20th century, as the world grew more connected, Casio recognized a need: timepieces that could track multiple time zones with ease. Early World Time models were straightforward but game-changing, helping international travelers keep pace with a rapidly globalizing world. These first steps set the stage for decades of innovation.

Innovation Unleashed: From Time-Telling to Multifunctional Marvels

With the digital revolution, Casio reimagined the very idea of a watch. Suddenly, timekeeping meant so much more: alarms, stopwatches, countdown timers, and—most importantly—the ability to display multiple cities at a glance. Casio’s World Time watches quickly became essential travel tools, seamlessly blending technology with everyday utility.

Design Meets Durability: Engineered for the World

Casio’s World Time series is crafted for adventure. Engineered for resilience, these watches are ready for the rigors of travel, yet designed with style that transitions from airport lounges to business meetings. Durable materials, sleek profiles, and versatile looks make them as fashionable as they are practical—effortlessly elevating any journey.

Among all the models, the AE-1200WH—endearingly known as the “Casio Royale”—stands out as a legend. Here’s why this watch has become a cult favorite among travelers:

• Slim, Lightweight, and Robust: Measuring 45×42.1×12.5mm and weighing just 91 grams, the AE-1200WH feels comfortable and built to last. The resin case and stainless steel bracelet add both resilience and a touch of polish.
