The AE-1200WH-1AV, the default black resin model






The Casio AE-1200, first released in 2012, is yet another legendary line of digital watches made by Casio. The watch has earned its wide respect from its strong reliability, 100m water resistance, and especially its world-time function at a price only slightly higher than the F-91W. Not only has it spawned its own dedicated modding community but it has earned the nickname “Casio Royale”.

In typical Casio fashion, the watch’s face is littered with guides that describe the features. Though unlike Casio’s other popular watches, the design is notably much more restrained and rather tasteful. The face uses a mixture of Eurostile and Neue Helvetica Extended for the text.

The AE-1200WHD-1AV is the most striking and most popular variant of the Casio Royale due to its metal appearance.
