Historical significance
Casio Pro Trek 44 mm Silvered 18k sits within Casio's Pro Trek line, introduced in 1950. It carries the house codes established since 1946 — 18k white gold case, silvered opaline dial and spring drive — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- The bracelet tapers across its length, which is why the profile looks thinner on the wrist than the specification suggests.
- The case is finished by hand, alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces in a single pass so the edges stay razor sharp.
- The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.

Brand history
Casio has spent more than 80 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's G-Shock, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Tadao Kashio established Casio in 1946, working from Japan at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Casio calibre produced today.
