London, 12 March 2007 - Casio  has announced the addition of six new lines to its High Performance  collection of contemporary radio controlled watches for this Spring/Summer.

There are  four new 4 motor chronograph watches, taking their styling from the world of  motorsport (WVQ-550DE-4AVER and WVQ-550LE-9AVER) and classic chronograph design  (WVQ-560LE-1AVER and  WVQ-560DE-2AVER). They are complemented  by two new additions to the 3-Hand analogues, the diver style  WVQ-142DU-1AVER and WVQ-142DU-2AVER.

These new additions to the collection increase Casio's  High Performance range to fifteen  pieces in total. The range is aimed at the independent jeweller channel and is  supported by a superior retail package of bespoke window display units and  highly experienced Timepiece sales team.

All watches  in the collection use Dual-region Wave Ceptor technology to pick up the time  calibration signals from radio transmitters in the UK and mainland  Europe*.  When travelling, these watches  can be changed to the local European time at the touch of a button and  automatically adjust themselves each day to ensure perfect timing.

The entire  range features precision engineered stainless steel cases and backs, a day  and/or date indicator and a Full Auto LED light which allows the time to  be read even under the poorest of lighting conditions.

Delivering  the highest standards with their look and composition, these Chronograph and  Analogue watches combine enhanced engineering with stylish design.
