Casio MTD-145D Series Arrives in the UK With Affordable Diver-Style Design
Casio has expanded its UK watch lineup with the official listing of three new affordable diver-style models in the MTD-145D series. The collection includes the Casio MTD-145D-1AV, MTD-145D-2AV, and MTD-145D-3AV, each offering the same core specifications while standing apart through different dial and bezel color combinations.
The Casio MTD-145D-1AV keeps things timeless with a classic black finish, making it the most traditional-looking option in the range. The MTD-145D-2AV introduces a sportier blue design, while the MTD-145D-3AV adds a green colorway for buyers who want something a little more eye-catching. With these three choices, Casio is clearly aiming to appeal to fans of clean, everyday watches with a rugged dive-watch-inspired appearance.
Each model measures 47.5 x 43.2 x 10.3 mm and weighs 128 grams, giving the watches a solid wrist presence without becoming overly bulky. The stainless steel case and bracelet add to the premium feel, while the rotating aluminum bezel reinforces the diver-style aesthetic. Casio has also equipped the watches with a one-touch three-fold clasp, helping keep the bracelet secure and easy to fasten.
Although the MTD-145D series borrows heavily from traditional dive watch design, these models are not positioned as professional diving watches. They offer 50-meter water resistance, which is suitable for everyday splashes, handwashing, and light water exposure, but it falls short of the higher water-resistance ratings typically expected from dedicated dive watches. For most casual users, however, the rating should be enough for daily wear.
The dial layout is simple and practical, staying true to Casio’s reputation for functional watch design. Each watch features three analog hands, clear hour markers, and a date window for added convenience. A mineral glass crystal protects the dial, offering basic scratch resistance for normal day-to-day use.
Inside, the Casio MTD-145D models use a quartz movement with an advertised accuracy of ±20 seconds per month. Battery life is estimated at around three years using an SR920SW cell, making these watches low-maintenance options for buyers who want reliable timekeeping without frequent servicing.
In the UK, the Casio MTD-145D-1AV, MTD-145D-2AV, and MTD-145D-3AV are each priced at £85. That positions the series as an accessible choice for anyone looking for an affordable stainless steel watch with a diver-inspired design, rotating bezel, and everyday practicality.
Casio has confirmed the pricing and listed the models for the UK market, but availability for purchase has not yet begun. Buyers interested in the new MTD-145D lineup will need to wait until the watches officially go on sale.
