Dial Hands & Movement

The Casio AE1200 has a purely digital dial whose presentation is via a liquid crystal display (LCD). To add a level of depth to a normally flat surface and to split the display into distinct different functions a black plastic overlay is employed. This overlay divides the face into the primary display, a world map with time zone, an alarm indicator and finally a digital version of an analogue watch face.

There is not a great deal to say about the digital watch face, the text and graphics are presented as black on white with the only colour coming from an amber back light that activates for 2 seconds when the top right pusher is pressed. The text is clear and easy to read both under back light and normal conditions, the world time indicator is a nice touch and it is fun if a little difficult to immediately see the indicated time zone. The “analogue” watch face does look good with its minimalist design and recessed black surround, I especially enjoy the racetrack second indicator constantly chasing round the outer track, disembodied from the other hands. From a practical standpoint the secondary time display stays set to your home zone even when you have adjusted the primary display to indicate a different location.

Powered by a Casio 3299 Module, with an accuracy of -/+30 seconds a month and has a 10 year battery life.
