Casio MTP-M305L-7AV Moon Phase Watch Appears on US Store at $135
Casio’s stylish MTP-M305L-7AV moon phase watch is finally making its way to the brand’s US online store, giving American buyers another affordable dress-watch option with a classic lunar display. The model is currently listed at $135, but it is marked as “New” and “Coming Soon,” meaning it is not available to purchase directly from Casio in the United States just yet.
The highlight of the Casio MTP-M305L-7AV is its moon phase complication, which gives the watch a more refined and traditional look than many standard quartz models in this price range. The lunar phase display sits in the lower section of the white dial, adding visual depth without making the design feel too busy.
The watch features a three-hand layout along with three subdials that display the date, day, and moon phase. Its polished stainless-steel cushion-shaped case gives it a dressy yet slightly vintage character, while the white dial and leather strap help keep the overall design clean and versatile.
In terms of size, the MTP-M305L-7AV measures 44.5 mm by 34 mm, with a slim case thickness listed at 9.4 mm on Casio’s US page. It weighs around 55 grams, making it light enough for daily wear while still offering the premium feel of a stainless-steel case and bezel. The watch comes fitted with a genuine leather strap, and Casio’s US listing states that it supports wrist sizes from 175 mm to 215 mm.
The model also includes practical everyday specifications. It has 50 meters of water resistance, a mineral crystal, and a quoted accuracy of plus or minus 20 seconds per month. Power comes from an SR621SW battery, which Casio rates for approximately three years of use.
While the US listing is new, the watch itself is not a brand-new global release. The MTP-M305L-7AV has already been available in other markets since 2023, and watch enthusiasts have been able to find it through various retailers and sellers for some time. Hands-on impressions and owner videos have also been circulating online since at least 2024.
One interesting point is the pricing. Casio’s official US price of $135 is higher than some current third-party offers. The same reference has recently appeared at lower prices from major retailers and online sellers, with some listings around the $100 to $120 range depending on availability and shipping. However, buying directly from Casio’s US store may appeal to shoppers who prefer official warranty coverage and a more straightforward purchase experience.
There is also a small difference between Casio’s US and international specifications. The US listing gives the strap range as 175 mm to 215 mm and the case thickness as 9.4 mm, while the international listing has shown a 160 mm to 200 mm strap range and 9.3 mm thickness for what appears to be the same model. Either way, the American sizing details suggest the watch should work especially well for medium to larger wrists.
Casio has not yet confirmed when the MTP-M305L-7AV will begin shipping from its US store. For now, buyers interested in this stainless-steel moon phase watch can keep an eye on the official listing or compare prices from other retailers while waiting for direct availability.
With its polished case, leather strap, moon phase display, and accessible price point, the Casio MTP-M305L-7AV could be a strong option for anyone looking for an affordable quartz dress watch with a more elegant personality than a typical everyday timepiece.
