Casio ME-120 Matsuri Productions

I've been wearing another of the Casio Meta (possibly Meza)  range today, and yet again, it's a special collaboration model.

The ME or Meta range seem to have been a high tech sci-fi shiny metal range from sometime in the 90s. There isn't much easy info to be found online, but there were three versions the ME-100, ME-110, and today's ME-120 (specifically ME-120M).

The ME-120 looks very similar to the ME-110, and uses the same 1828 module. This model does however have a more square case and display surround. It also has the same flat looking square LCD panel with lines for day and date (top) , time (across the centre), and information (dot matrix array, bottom). The modes for this model are world time, multi time, 30 slot databank, alarm, and stopwatch. The metal strap is matched with the body and has the part number S718-L.

This model is a collaboration model with Matsuri Productions, and has their design on the back, clasp, and backlight. Matsuri Productions were a psychedelic trance record label from the UK. The label doesn't exist anymore, but was founded in 1994 by John Perloff and Tsuyoshi Suzuki (-one of the most famous DJs in the Japanese trance music scene).

  1. Hi,

    I have a CASIO MEZA ME-120, do you know where I could buy a strap for it?

    Mine broke at the watch case.
