Casio AQ-222 Vintage Analog–Digital Watch | Japan-Made | Gold Tone | Stainless Steel Back | 31 mm
A charming vintage Casio from the brand’s analog–digital “AQ” series, the AQ-222 blends classic dress styling with practical dual-display functionality. The gold-tone square case, minimalist stick dial, and slim profile reflect Casio’s understated late 20th-century design language, while the small digital window adds everyday utility.
This watch measures approximately 31 mm across the case (excluding pushers), which is the traditional method for vintage watch sizing. When including both side pushers, the total width is closer to 34 mm, offering a more realistic sense of wrist presence. This example features module 308 and was assembled in Japan, indicated by the “Japan M” marking on the caseback—an appreciated detail among collectors of early Casio designs. A new battery has been installed, and the watch is running properly.
