I keep reading about how the rights to the “marlin logo” expired and new Duros (MDV106) don’t have the logo anymore. There’s even a YouTube video showing examples of such a thing. I think the YouTube video was from Australia.

2021年1月17日 · Casio’s dropping the logo (on dial and caseback); the license for the logo is expiring. Casio Duro fans are buying up the last of the Marlin-adorned Duros. Some of which glow in the dark.

2023年7月21日 · Casio lost its rights to the Marlin logo. Old Marlin digital watches have crazy value compared with today's digital watches, it helps that they are real stainless steel too. I'd say go for the Marlin-logo Duro while you can.

2022年3月3日 · I didn't hear of them being discontinued but I have read before that apparently they will soon lose the right to use the marlin logo outside North America. They just released new colourways and an updated version to reflect the licence loss of the Marlin logo. So no.

2020年2月26日 · After almost 10 years since the launch of the Casio MDV-106-1AV, the brand is now launching two new variants of this iconic model, the Casio MDV-106B-2AV and the Casio MDV-106G-1AV. Before we talk about these two new variants, let’s do a little review of the characteristics of this model.

2024年6月5日 · Overall, I prefer the new clean logo look and the slight lume improvement, and will likely wear this and keep the 106 as a true beater. I've had Aliexpress type divers in the under $100 range, but they didn't last too long.

2021年9月21日 · The watch is still being made, although I believe the Marlin logo is now gone due to some sort of licensing expiration. I was able to find this online for about $50 USD, which is pretty in line with new prices in other places. Using $50, the value multiplier is an astounding 1.945, nearly hitting the theoretical limit of 2.

2024年11月29日 · Although maintaining the similar aesthetic and functional features of MDV-106, the new variant comes without the emblematic Marlin symbol on the dial. Presently available with a black dial, MDV-107 comes with four bezel-color options: black, Pepsi (blue with red), Batman (black with blue) and green.

2024年11月26日 · Both MDV 106 and MDV 107 models from the Casio Duro 200m Diver series share the same design, materials and movement. A major difference between these two references is the Marlin fish logo: MDV 106 features this emblematic symbol on the dial and case-back, whereas MDV 107 doesn’t have it.

One of the standout features of the Duro is its marlin logo at the 6 o’clock position—a nod to its aquatic inspiration and its predecessor: The Casio MDV102 “Marlin.” This logo is also engraved lightly into the screw back case as well.
