Casio MTP-E740 leak points to affordable analog watches with translucent dials and five color options
Casio appears to be preparing a fresh addition to its analog watch lineup with the upcoming MTP-E740 series. Although the watches have not been officially announced yet, early retailer listings have revealed several key details, including the design, color choices, dimensions, and core specifications.
The Casio MTP-E740 is expected to be a simple three-hand analog watch with a stainless steel case and matching bracelet. What makes this series stand out is its dial design. The watches seem to feature a translucent-style dial, giving them a more modern and eye-catching look than many standard budget analog models. This design choice may appeal to buyers who want an affordable everyday watch with a slightly more distinctive personality.
Five dial colors have surfaced so far. The lineup reportedly includes orange, teal green, two different blue variants, and brown. The model numbers are said to include MTP-E740-4A for the orange version, MTP-E740-3A for teal green, MTP-E740-2A1 and MTP-E740-2A2 for the blue models, and MTP-E740-1A for the brown version. All five appear to share the same overall case and bracelet design.
In terms of size, the Casio MTP-E740 is listed at 45.0 x 39.8 x 8.7 mm, with a weight of around 103 grams. That should make it relatively slim for a stainless steel watch, while still offering enough wrist presence for those who prefer a noticeable but not oversized case.
The feature set is intentionally straightforward. The MTP-E740 does not appear to include extras such as a chronograph, alarm, or digital functions. Instead, it focuses on traditional timekeeping with hour, minute, and second hands, along with a practical day and date display. The day indicator reportedly supports both English and Spanish, which adds a useful touch for international buyers.
Accuracy is listed at approximately ±20 seconds per month, which is typical for an affordable quartz analog watch. The battery is expected to be an SR920SW cell, with an estimated lifespan of about three years before replacement is needed.
Water resistance is rated at 5 bar, or 50 meters. This should be suitable for everyday exposure such as hand washing, rain, and light splashes. However, it is not positioned as a dive watch, and buyers should not treat it as a model intended for swimming or underwater use.
Pricing has not been confirmed yet, but the MTP-E740 series is expected to sit within Casio’s affordable analog range. The appearance of an “AUG” tag in the leaked packaging details suggests a possible August release window, though this remains unofficial for now.
If the final retail models match the leaked information, the Casio MTP-E740 could become an appealing option for shoppers looking for a stylish budget watch with a stainless steel build, day/date functionality, and a colorful translucent dial. For now, the specifications and availability should be treated as early information until Casio provides an official announcement.
