Slim, elegant and accomplished: Men's radio-controlled watches from CASIO

Norderstedt, February 2008 - Men's radio-controlled watches are getting slimmer all the time. The Japanese watch-maker CASIO is in no small way part of the reason for this development. CASIO has long been designing elegant men's watches developing ever slimmer models. The benefit is two-fold - these watches have an incomparably beautiful stylish design and the flatter watch-case affords a high degree of comfort to the wearer.

Two shining lights of the trend are the CASIO models WVA-M150DE-1AER and WVQ-M610DE-1AVER. Only 8.2 mm high and with its no-compromise finish, perfect design and many useful functions, the WVA-M150 has acquired its very own fan-base since its launch towards the end of 2006. Straightforward, ultra thin and with the pure elegance, this watch repeatedly finds itself garnering attention. Multi-band radio-controlled technology guarantees optimal reception over most of Europe, Japan and North America. The highly polished sapphire glass, the beautifully finished casing and band ensure the WVA-M150 to be the perfect embodiment of what a men's radio-controlled watch should be in spring/summer 2008, as well.

The WVQ-M610DE-1AVER, too, is a real eye-catcher with its sports design and technical details including multi-band radio-controlled technology and the Tough Solar subtly integrated into the dial. The 9.4 mm slim chronograph appeals through its elegance, sophistication and high level of wearer comfort. This optically perfect watch with beautifully finished sapphire glass, all-metal casing and stainless steel solid band is yet another example of the benchmark set by CASIO with its men's radio-controlled watches.
