Casio has leaked information regarding its upcoming CMK-100 automatic watch series, which surfaced through promotional imagery on Instagram. The new collection is expected to retail for approximately $300.
Why it matters
The CMK-100 represents a strategic expansion for Casio, utilizing a well-known movement to capture interest from entry-level automatic watch enthusiasts. The use of premium materials at this price point signals a shift in the brand's competitive positioning.
The watch features a titanium case, a sapphire crystal, and the Miyota 8215 movement. The movement operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour, offering a 42-hour power reserve and a hacking feature across three distinct references.
The players
Casio
Casio is a global manufacturer of consumer electronics, including digital and analog timepieces.

The details
The upcoming series includes three references, specifically the CMK-100TC-1A, CMK-100TD-1A, and CMK-100TL-1A. The movement utilizes an indirect centre-seconds drive, which results in a visible stuttering of the seconds hand during operation.

Roadmap

Consumers interested in the series should prepare for a launch window in December 2026. The watch will require an initial budget of approximately $300 to secure one of the three available model references.
