Casio has announced two new limited-edition watches in its Japan-exclusive Oceanus lineup, set to ship later this August.
The models, OCW-S400RL-8A and OCW-T2600RL-3A, are part of the Retro Tone Collection.

Instead of adding new smart features, Casio focuses on manufacturing techniques for the dials, bezels, and straps while retaining standard solar and radio-syncing technology.
Design and pricing
Both watches feature a titanium case and a half-matte gradient dial.
To achieve this finish without blocking the solar panels, Casio uses a three-step process: silver vapor deposition, color coating, and gradient pattern printing.
This method allows enough light to reach the Tough Solar charging system, which powers the watches for about five months on a full charge under normal use, or up to 22 months in power-saving mode.

The higher-end model, OCW-S400RL-8A, is priced at ¥165,000 ($1,046) and limited to 300 units.
It belongs to the thinner Manta series, weighing 38 grams with a 9.2mm thickness.
It features a gray dial and a sapphire crystal bezel ring with a laser-treated frosted, matte texture.
This model uses both Bluetooth to sync with the Casio Watches smartphone app and Multi Band 6 radio signals for automatic time adjustment.
The second watch, OCW-T2600RL-3A, costs ¥115,500 ($732) and is limited to 500 units.

It has a green dial and skips Bluetooth, relying entirely on Multi Band 6 radio signals for time adjustment.
It is slightly thicker at 10.7mm and weighs 49 grams.
Both models come with cowhide leather straps from Tochigi Leather, a Japanese tannery, instead of the usual titanium bracelets.
The straps use traditional vegetable tanning, designed to break in and change color with wear.
