Casio Unveils Two A.P.C. Vintage Watches
Casio's new collaboration with A.P.C. brings two hybrid Vintage watches to its online store, with release set for November 2026.
Updated on Nov. 11, 2026 in Accessories
Casio has revealed two new Vintage watches designed in collaboration with A.P.C., the AQ240EAC-3A and AQ240EGAC-9A. Both models are scheduled for release in November 2026 and are listed for sale through Casio's online store.
Why it matters
The collaboration extends a partnership that previously produced the A1000ACD-7 and A1000ACG-9 watches. For buyers, it adds another hybrid analog-digital option in the Vintage line with a defined release window.
Casio lists the AQ240EAC-3A at $110 and the AQ240EGAC-9A at $135 in the US, and €99.90 and €119.00 respectively in Spain. Casio states the watches should stay accurate to within 30 seconds per month and run about three years on an SR920W battery.
The players
Casio
Casio is a Japanese electronics manufacturer best known for its G-Shock and digital watch lines.
A.P.C.
A.P.C. (Atelier de Production et de Création) is a French fashion label known for minimalist streetwear and denim.
The details
The AQ240EAC-3A has a blue sunray dial with silver-tone indexes, a chrome-plated bezel and a stainless steel strap, while the AQ240EGAC-9A is all gold with a gold ion-plated metal strap.

Timeline
November 2026: Both watches are scheduled for release.
Season Trajectory
The AQ240 models continue the Casio and A.P.C. partnership that began with the A1000ACD-7 and A1000ACG-9 watches, extending a collaboration that pairs a Japanese digital watchmaker with a French fashion label. The release follows that earlier pattern, shifting the design toward a hybrid analog-digital Vintage format.
Buyers looking at the AQ240 line can compare the $110 and $135 US prices, or the €99.90 and €119.00 Spanish prices, when planning purchases for the November 2026 release. The three-year battery life and water resistance make the watches practical for everyday wear.
The takeaway
The AQ240 watches combine a retro dial design with dual-time, alarm and stopwatch functions at under $140, making them a practical option for buyers who want a hybrid Vintage watch. Checking regional price listings before November 2026 can help buyers compare total cost.
