Casio G-Shock X Surfrider Collaboration
G-Shock has joined forces with the Surfrider Foundation to celebrate 25 years of protecting the world’s oceans, waves and beaches. This summer, Casio will release the limited edition G-Shock X Surfrider Foundation collaboration watch, the G5500SRF-1, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the organization.
Casio G5500SRF-1
Ecologically friendly, the G5500SRF-1 features Non-Stop Tough Solar Technology — which combines a tiny, solar panel with a large-capacity rechargeable battery enabling a variety of energy-hungry functions to operate smoothly. The result is an impressive solar timepiece that assures reliable timekeeping and greatly reduces the need for battery change.
The G-Shock X Surfrider collaboration watch features the Surfrider Foundation logo in the backlight and name on the band, G-Shock’s legendary 200M water resistance & shock resistance, multi-function alarm with snooze, countdown timer, 1/100 Sec.
The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of our world’s oceans, waves and beaches. Originally founded in 1984 by a handful of surfers in Malibu, California, the Surfrider Foundation has expanded globally over the past 25 years to over 50,000 members and 90 grassroots chapters. With several hundred coastal victories under its belt, the Surfrider Foundation has become the world’s leading non-governmental organization dedicated to the protection of our planet’s coastlines.
“G-Shock actively supports protecting our environment and we are proud to partner with the Surfrider Foundation,” said Shigenori Itoh, Vice President of Casio’s Timepiece Division. “Clean and safe oceans and beaches are a priority for G-Shock.”
“G-Shock watches are known globally for their superior quality and we could not be more excited to be partnering with them,” said Matt McClain, Surfrider Foundation’s Director of Marketing. “This limited edition collaboration is a great way to highlight 25-years of commitment to protecting our coastlines worldwide.”
The G-Shock X Surfrider collaboration watch features the Surfrider Foundation logo in the backlight and name on the band, G-Shock’s legendary 200M water resistance & shock resistance, multi-function alarm with snooze, countdown timer, 1/100 Sec. Stopwatch and 29 city world time /29 zones.
