The wait is over for European watch enthusiasts and fashion-forward collectors. Following a highly-anticipated unveiling in the United Kingdom, the stunning Casio Vintage x Liberty limited edition watches are now officially rolling out to a wider audience across the continent. This unique collaboration between Japanese technological prowess and iconic British design is set to become an instant classic.
Initially announced for a UK release on November 20th, Casio has now listed the stylish AQ-230E series on its official online stores in key European markets, including the Netherlands, France, and Germany, making these exclusive timepieces more accessible than ever.
Pricing, Models, and How to Get Yours
For EU-based customers, two distinct models are available, each with its own character and price point:
- The AQ-230EBLT-1A, featuring a sophisticated gunmetal gray case paired with a black strap, will retail for €139.
- The AQ-230ELT-7A, with a timeless silver case and matching silver strap, comes in at a more accessible €119.
Both watches are scheduled for a November 2025 release, though the specific launch date has not yet been pinned down. Eager customers are encouraged to take action to avoid missing out.

A Fusion of Heritage and Innovation
So, what makes these watches so special? The answer lies in a beautiful marriage of design and engineering.
The standout feature is the breathtaking dial, which showcases Liberty London’s legendary Paisley Fanfare print. This intricate and iconic pattern is not merely printed but is laser-engraved across the watch face and onto the stainless steel band, creating a texture and depth that is both luxurious and uniquely tactile.
Housed in a sleek, plated resin casing that measures a comfortable 38.8 x 29.8 x 8.1 mm, the watches are lightweight yet durable. They are built for daily wear, boasting water resistance and an impressive three-year battery life.
Don't let the vintage aesthetic fool you—these timepieces are packed with modern functionality. The AQ-230E model features a clever analog-digital display, allowing you to track two time zones simultaneously: one with the elegant analog hands and another on a slim, easy-to-read digital screen. It also includes practical tools like a daily alarm, hourly time signal, a 1/100th-second stopwatch, and an automatic calendar that always shows the correct date.
A Collector's Item in the Making
The wider European release marks a significant moment for fans of collaborative design. While it remains to be seen if or when the Casio Vintage x Liberty collection will make its way to the United States, its arrival in mainland Europe solidifies its status as a must-have accessory for the style-savvy.
This limited edition run promises to be a fusion of art and utility, a watch that doesn't just tell time but tells a story of two iconic brands. Keep an eye on your inbox this November if you've signed up—this is one release you won't want to miss.
