Casio has a new Pro Trek model on the horizon, and it’s already turning heads thanks to a design that breaks from the brand’s usual round, outdoorsy look. The upcoming Pro Trek PRG-69 has surfaced ahead of an official reveal, showing off a bold octagonal case and a dual-layer (duplex) LCD display—an eye-catching combination that still keeps the rugged, sensor-packed spirit Pro Trek fans expect.
Spotted early through a French retailer, the PRG-69 appears in two versions: the PRG-69-1 in an all-black colorway, and the PRG-69-4 with a black dial paired with a bright orange strap. Functionally, the two watches are the same, with the choice coming down to whether you prefer stealthy and minimal or high-visibility and sporty.
While the case shape may remind some people of other angular Casio designs at first glance, there’s a notable twist here: the PRG-69’s case is made from bio-based plastic. Casio is also leaning into real outdoor practicality, describing the watch as flame-resistant—useful protection if you spend time around campfires and stray sparks. The strap continues the sustainable theme, using bio-derived urethane, and is said to prioritize comfort for long wear during hiking, camping, or everyday use.
Inside, the Pro Trek PRG-69 sticks with the brand’s proven Triple Sensor setup, often referred to as ABC sensors for altimeter, barometer, and compass. You get a digital compass with 16-point measurement plus bidirectional calibration, an altimeter that tracks elevation from -700 to 10,000 meters with automatic logging, and a barometer that includes pressure trend alerts so you can spot weather shifts earlier. There’s also a built-in thermometer rated from -10 to 60°C, rounding out the core outdoor toolkit.
Power is handled by Casio’s Tough Solar system, designed to keep the watch topped up using both sunlight and indoor lighting—an especially handy feature for an adventure watch that’s meant to be dependable without constant charging or battery changes.
Pricing is listed at €200, with pre-orders already appearing and availability noted for March 20, 2026. More details—especially international release plans and regional pricing—should become clearer once Casio makes the launch official. For anyone looking for a Pro Trek that combines familiar ABC sensor performance with a more modern, angular look, the PRG-69 is shaping up to be one of the most distinctive Casio outdoor watches in recent memory.
