Custom Casio AE-1200 on a Casio stand, with an old-school Mazda logo, Miata script, a red world map window, stainless steel case and red strap

The AE-1200’s little instrument-panel layout makes a fitting starting point for a Miata-inspired build. An old-school Mazda logo fills the circular window on the left, while the Miata script sits above the world map. The white artwork stands out against the dark background without losing the familiar Casio face.

The custom graphics are printed on glossy photo paper. A red gel filter covers the world map window, adding a splash of colour while leaving the main time display clear. The red strap carries that accent around the wrist, and the stainless steel case gives the build a bright metal frame.

For a similar custom design, the AE-1200 faceplate guide covers laying out artwork around the display windows, checking the scale and printing a template for fitting.
