Casio's new Pro Trek, A130WE, and Edifice automatic watches shine in first IRL images
Casio has had a busy July rollout, and we are barely a week into the month. Now, first real-world images of three distinct product lines — the A130WE retro digital, the EFK-200 Edifice Automatic, and the PRJ-01 Pro Trek analog — are now circulating on social media. They lend a much better sense of how these watches actually look off the press render.
The A130WE green and cream colorways look much sharper in person. The green dial on the WE-3AJF has good depth under the black casing, while the cream WE-9AJF looks almost off-white. It's more like a warm parchment than the lighter tones seen in official images. Both carry the LC-analog layout with the analog-style sub-dial and digital time window that made the A130 a cult piece, priced at ¥8,800 (~$54) each.
The EFK-200 Edifice Automatic lineup is where things get interesting in the real world. Five variants are visible across the images — the textured forged-carbon dial on the Toyota Racing flagship (EFK-200XPB-1AJF, ¥74,800/~$460) has a unique marbled, swirling design that press shots flatten considerably. The gold-toned DG-5AJF (¥66,000/~$406) looks richer and warmer in person, while the blue and red steel variants each carry that same textured dial surface, which appears almost granular up close (likely beacuse of the lighting during photography). All five run the Miyota 8215 automatic with a 42-hour power reserve and sapphire crystal up front.
The Pro Trek PRJ-01 is easily the most dramatic departure in the batch. It's the first fully analog Pro Trek, stripped of the triple sensor suite that's a hallmark of this lineup. IRL shots show a clean white dial with broad, legible hands and the distinctive Lock/Unlock rotating bezel ring. The carabiner strap on the AE variants (¥31,350/~$193) is chunky and looks purpose-built rather than just being decorative. The base PRJ-01-1JF starts at ¥25,300 (~$156) with a standard rubber strap.
