Casio is celebrating 30 years of its Pro Trek outdoor watch line with two striking anniversary editions: the PRW-61ANS-3 and the PRG-340ANS-3. Designed around the brand’s “One with Nature” philosophy, both models blend rugged functionality with commemorative detailing, eco-conscious materials, and elegant gold accents.
Headlining the duo, the PRW-61ANS-3 is the first analog-digital Pro Trek to feature a vapor deposition dial. This finish creates a shimmering, sun-dappled effect reminiscent of light filtering through a forest canopy. Gold highlights on the bezel, buttons, and metallic keeper stand out against deep green resin cases and bands, giving both watches a premium, trail-ready look.
Casio has woven three decades of Pro Trek heritage directly into the design. The packaging, strap, and caseback showcase a timeline of milestone models dating back to 1995, including icons like the DPX-500, PAG-40, and PRW-1300. These historic references are hot-stamped in gold, and a special 30th Anniversary emblem decorates the caseback.
Both anniversary models use bio-based resins for the case and band, underscoring a shift toward more sustainable materials without compromising durability.
