Casio’s New Green‑Sunburst Dress Watch Arrives in the US

After more than a year of quietly selling in Europe, the UK and India, Casio finally rolled out its sleek MTP‑1302PGC‑3AV dress watch for American buyers. Priced at a modest $120, the watch aims to give you a taste of luxury without draining your wallet.

The first thing you’ll notice is the dial – a radiant green sunburst that seems to change hue as the light hits it from different angles. It’s the kind of subtle sparkle you usually reserve for far pricier pieces, and it does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to giving the watch a premium feel.

That dial sits behind a thin sheet of mineral glass, protected by a gold‑ion‑plated stainless‑steel case. Around the edge you’ll find a coin‑edge, fluted bezel that adds a nod to classic dress‑watch styling. The whole ensemble is finished with a matching gold‑tone stainless‑steel bracelet, secured with a triple‑fold clasp that feels solid yet easy to open.

Functionally, the watch is straightforward. A date window lives at the 3 o’clock position, and the hour and minute hands are coated with a faint lume so you can read the time after dark – handy, if not spectacular. Inside, a Casio 2784 quartz module powers the three‑hand display, offering an advertised accuracy of about ±20 seconds per month.

Size‑wise, the case measures roughly 44.2 × 38.5 × 9.4 mm and weighs about 105 g, making it comfortable enough for all‑day wear. The bracelet fits wrists from 150 mm up to 205 mm, and the whole piece is water‑resistant to 50 meters, meaning you can survive a splash or a light swim without worry.

Power comes from an SR626SW battery, which Casio claims will last around three years before it needs swapping – a reasonable expectation for a watch in this price bracket.

All in all, the MTP‑1302PGC‑3AV is part of Casio’s “Timeless Collection,” a line that tries to blend classic looks with modern reliability. If you’re after a dress watch that looks a cut above its cost, the green‑sunburst model is definitely worth a glance.
