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.
FEATURES
This material is expected 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.
Due to the characteristics of mixed moulding, there are individual differences in color and pattern in every timepiece.
The textured pattern on the surface of the watch components is uneven.
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.
