Casio and A.P.C. are back together for the holidays with a gift in the form of some new vintage timepieces.
Casio America announced a new spin on the AQ-240 watches on Wednesday (November 11) as the newest A.P.C. Interaction, adding the silver AQ240EAC-3A and gold AQ240EGAC-9A to the Casio Vintage line.
The AQ240EAC-3A (priced at $110.00) places a nearly turquoise dial against a silver-tone case, while the AQ240EGAC-9A (priced at $135.00) has a gold finish, with a pale champagne sunray dial.
Both watches have a rounded-square case and subtle A.P.C. branding beneath the Casio logo on the dial and the buckle. The case back also carries the label's engraved guitar-and-dagger signature.
Alongside the watches, the brands unveiled a short film, A Day with A.P.C. and Casio, directed by Kersti Jan Werdal, presented as a meditation on the nature of time, and the willingness to slow down.
The new collaboration comes two years after the brands' first partnership, which started from Casio's slim digital A1000. That release also arrived in silver and gold tones, with a stripped-back dial and the same guitar-and-dagger engraving on the case back.
Both watches go on sale Tuesday (Nov. 17) on the official Casio website, G-SHOCK stores and A.P.C. stores.
