CASIO A159W-N1 Classic Digital Watch Tri-Fold Clasp Band
MADE IN JAPAN
A159W is a rather rare version of A159WA with genuine "tri-fold clasp" for quick and easy attachment.
The most of Casio's stainless steel band models are equipped with "free-slide adjust clasp", but sometimes the attachment procedure is difficult to get used to for some people.
A159 is the only "MADE IN JAPAN" model in standard digital lineups, even though the full metal premium digital model, such as A1000s, are still made in China.
Manufactured in Yamagata Casio, the same factory where hi-end G-shock and Oceanus are coming out.
The re-production of A159 in Japan began in 2018 with newly developed fully automated line.
Casio is actually starting to shift its hand assembling Chinese line to Japanese automated line because of increasing labor cost in China recently.
Therefore, some more of these models may be coming out in near future from Japan.
As far as I know, there are two versions of A159 made in Japan in the market mixing right now depending on production year.
I assume minor change occured around 2021.
The older one has tiny "JAPAN" lettering on bottom-left side of the face.
And, newer one has no "JAPAN" lettering on face, but has surrounding line around "WR" on upper-right side.
Of couse, both has "JAPAN" lettering on back plate to prove it to be made in Japan.
Mine is the new one with "JAPAN" only on back plate.
