The Editorial
The watch that everyone owns and nobody outgrows. From Marty McFly to Virgil Abloh, the A168 is the most democratic timepiece ever made — and at $60, the best value in the entire collection.
Why This Watch
A piece worth
acquiring.
Ideal for
Everyone. Literally everyone. The watch snob's guilty pleasure, the minimalist's beater, the teenager's first watch.
The A168 is the most produced watch design in history, worn by presidents, rappers, fashion designers, and astronauts. It costs less than a nice lunch but it'll outlast most luxury watches. The LED backlight, alarm, and stopwatch make it more functional than watches at 100x the price. There is no more egalitarian timepiece: it looks the same on a teenager's wrist as it does on a world leader's.
Collector's Note
Virgil Abloh, Barack Obama, and the entire cast of Stranger Things have been spotted wearing Casio digitals. There is no watch more egalitarian.

Inventors of the G-Shock — the most indestructible watch ever made.
Casio engineer Kikuo Ibe spent two years and broke over 200 prototypes to develop the original G-Shock in 1983, designed to survive a 10-meter drop. Forty years later G-Shock is worn by Navy SEALs, mountaineers, and luxury watch collectors alike. The CasiOak (GA-2100 series) reinterprets that DNA in Royal Oak proportions.
