Ocean lovers and wave riders take note! Introducing the G-SHOCK-Surfrider Foundation collaboration for the world’s top surfers and extreme sports fans.
Sharing a passion for the environment, G-SHOCK is proud to collaborate
with the Surfrider Foundation, which works together with surfers committed to the ocean to protect the marine environment.
Equipped with Tough Solar to charge the watch from sunlight, the G5600 boasts a bezel and band made of recycled urethane, reducing the environmental impact of resin scraps that would otherwise be
discarded. With the unique and distinctive flake pattern that comes from mixing reused white scrap resin into a black base, this special collaboration does it all with style.
SURFRIDER FOUNDATION
The planet’s beautiful oceans stretch endlessly over the horizon, immense natural assets for all of humankind. The Surfrider Foundation is an environmental protection organization founded by surfers who love the ocean.
Its aim is to protect irreplaceable ocean ecosystems and preserve them for future generations. Since formed in the United States in 1984, the foundation has worked to protect coastal ecosystems, and its accomplishments are recognized worldwide.
1. Recycled materials to help reduce environmental impact:
Resin scraps recovered from Casio manufacturing processes are used to create the parts of this watch. The scraps are finely shredded, mixed into a base urethane material, and then moulded into the necessary components. The look features the random texture and pattern created by the grey and white flakes of added material. The overall monochrome watch design goes well with wetsuits and surf shorts.
2. Logo and message conveying the desire to live in harmony with nature:
The Surfrider Foundation logo is featured on the watch face and case back, while the hashtag #oceanfriendly lifestyle is printed on the band. These design features were added to express the desire to live in harmony with the ocean and nature.
3. Tough Solar powered for converting light to energy:
Generates ample power from sunlight, a natural energy source, for smooth operation of even the most power-hungry functions.
4. Super Illuminator:
(high-brightness full-auto LED backlight) for maintaining watch readability in the dark
5. Special packaging:
The watch comes in a special eco-package made with recycled materials.
