Following the publicity of the Patek Philippe 5711 Nautilus collaboration with Tiffany & Co. and the massive success of the Turquoise Blue Rolex Oyster Perpetual, it seems like every watchmaker has its own version of a Tiffany-like watch with a light blue dial these days. For Casio, that would be the MTP-1302PD-2A2V, which was released in January 2023. This model, sold in Europe (€54.90) and North America ($69.95), initially sold out very quickly and went on to sell for many multiples of its list price on the secondhand market.
The MTP-1302PD-2A2V base has the nickname of “Casio Datejust” due to its resemblance to the Rolex Datejust. Made of stainless steel and mineral glass, the watch has dimensions of 44.2 x 38.5 x 9.2 millimeters and weighs 105 grams. It is water-resistant to 50 meters and has an approximate 3-year battery life.
There hasn’t been a G-Shock watch to fully take advantage of this type of color yet, but perhaps there will be one in the future. (The GW-M5610BWD20-1ER Bamford collaboration and Pearl Blue Series came close, but those were more powder blue than turquoise blue and the blue needs to be used for the whole dial to get the full effect. There have been unofficial “Tiffany” mods for GA-2100 watches that look great, and a metal GM-2100 or GM-B2100, or perhaps an affordable white GA-2100, would be the ideal base should Casio ever decide to give a G-Shock the Tiffany treatment.

Casio MTP-1302PD-2A2V Video Review by Brave Beaters
Casio AQ230A-2A2VT Unisex Analog-Digital Model
Released in late 2023, the AQ230A-2A2VT is a compact unisex model with an analog-digital display with a Tiffany-like blue background. The watch measures 38.8 x 29.8 x 8.1 millimeters and weighs 47 grams. Unlike the MTP-1302PD-2A2V with its mineral glass display, the display is made of less durable resin glass. The watch looks like stainless steel, but it is actually a resin case that is chrome plated, and the band is stainless steel. It also has a less accurate module at +/-30 seconds per month. The uniquely sleek and retro style may make up for these shortcomings, and Casio America’s initial stock of this model sold out fairly quickly. Features include water resistance (against splashes), dual time, 1/100-second stopwatch, daily alarm, hourly time signal, and auto-calendar.

Casio MTP-B145D-2A1V Compact Unisex Model
Casio is releasing the MTP-B145D-2A1V in Asia in September 2023. This is a smaller watch with the same type of turquoise blue dial and featuring mineral glass, 50-meter water resistance, and a date display like the MTP-1302PD-2A2V. The watch has dimensions of 40 x 35 x 7.4 millimeters and a weight of 82 grams. This model was also released in Europe for 79.90 euros. Update: Casio America released the MTPB145DC21V in the U.S., which appears to be almost the same as the MTP-B145D-2A1V. These models have a classic style in a compact form factor that is similar to the 35mm Tissot PRX, making it suitable for men with smaller wrists and women.
Another Tiffany-like Casio watch released in March 2023 only in Europe is the A1000BP-2 with a full digital display and a textured turquoise blue face. This full stainless steel model with black ion plating is part of the vintage Premium Collection and has a retail price of €159. It is easier to find and not completely sold out like the MTP-1302PD-2A2V, but it is sold out on the Casio website in some European countries like France, Germany, and Spain. This unisex watch measures 39.6 x 38 x 7.3 millimeters and weighs 85 grams. The watch is water-resistant (splashproof) but is not suitable for swimming. Other features include mineral glass, 1/100-second stopwatch, daily alarm, hourly time signal, full auto calendar, LED backlight, and approximate 3-year battery life.
