Casio has done something nobody quite expected: the quartz king has gone mechanical. Announced on 29 October 2026, the new Casio CMK-100 is a lightweight titanium automatic field watch — the brand’s first serious mechanical timepiece outside its Edifice line — and it is already trending among watch fans in Pakistan, who are searching for the Casio CMK-100 price, specs and release date.
For a company whose collector identity is built on quartz accuracy and G-Shock toughness, a hand-wound mechanical watch is a genuine pivot. Here is everything confirmed about the launch.
What the Casio CMK-100 actually is
The Casio CMK-100 titanium automatic is a no-nonsense field watch. It has a 38mm titanium case — light on the wrist, strong enough for daily abuse — topped with a sapphire crystal, the same scratch-resistant glass you normally find on watches costing several times more.
The dial keeps it simple: a clean three-hand layout with a date window, large Arabic numerals and raised indexes coated in multiple layers of phosphorescent paint for readability in the dark. There is no screen, no alarm, no stopwatch, no Bluetooth and no digital display. This is a mechanical watch through and through — Casio calls it “a lightweight mechanical timepiece with excellent readability.”
It also carries 10-bar water resistance, so rain, swimming and outdoor use are well within its comfort zone.
The Made-in-Japan automatic movement, in plain terms
Inside the CMK-100 beats a Made-in-Japan automatic movement with 21 jewels, vibrating at 21,600 beats per hour. It winds itself from the motion of your wrist, but can also be hand-wound through the crown, and it has hacking seconds — the seconds hand stops when you pull the crown out, so you can set the time precisely.
The movement is also rated for magnetic resistance, which matters because everyday magnetism (phone cases, laptop speakers, bag clasps) is one of the silent killers of mechanical accuracy. Casio has not named the movement supplier or the calibre, which is unusual but not unheard of at this price.
One honest trade-off to know: Casio quotes a mean daily rate of minus 20 to plus 40 seconds per day. A quartz Casio might gain a few seconds a year; the CMK-100 can gain or lose up to a minute or more over a week. That is the mechanical-watch bargain — character and craftsmanship in exchange for absolute precision.
Five models and the price buyers will pay
The launch spans five references, split by dial colour and strap material:
- CMK-100TD-1A — black dial, titanium bracelet
- CMK-100TC-1A — black dial, nylon strap
- CMK-100TCC-8A — grey dial, nylon strap
- CMK-100TL-1A — black dial, leather strap
- CMK-100TCL-5A — brown dial, leather strap
The Casio CMK-100 price starts at US$320 for the entry model, with Casio’s own product listing starting at US$330 — buyers should check the final price before ordering, as the two figures differ slightly. US availability is scheduled for November 2026, and Casio’s product page already lists the collection as new for November 2026.
Why Casio going mechanical is a big deal
Casio’s entire modern identity is quartz and G-Shock. A mechanical watch outside the Edifice line signals that the brand is testing the waters for a genuine mechanical collection — five references, not one, suggests a line rather than a one-off experiment.
Casio says the CMK-100 was developed in response to growing demand for mechanical watches, and the pricing puts it squarely against affordable automatics from Seiko, Citizen and the microbrand crowd. Titanium at this price, plus sapphire, plus a Japanese-made movement, is a strong combination — few rivals offer all three under US$350.
For Casio, it also fits the company’s stated purpose: “Through the power to put wonder at hand, bring new levels of joy to lives one by one.” A ticking, whirring mechanical movement is about as much wonder as you can put on a wrist.
Casio CMK-100 in Pakistan: expected price and availability
As of launch, Casio has not announced the CMK-100 for Pakistan, and there is no official Pakistani price yet. Casio watches are widely sold in Pakistan through authorised dealers and grey-market importers, and new international models typically reach local shelves within a few months of the global release.
Based on the US$320 starting price, buyers in Pakistan should expect the grey-market price to land above the converted figure once import costs and duties are added — a realistic estimate is in the premium-import segment rather than the budget range. Watch enthusiasts should buy from reputable dealers, since popular new releases often attract counterfeits.
Until the CMK-100 arrives locally, Pakistan’s watch market already offers plenty of established options — our guide to luxury watches in Pakistan covers brands, prices and dealers.
