Partly made from recycled materials the Casio G-Shock G-5600SRF Surfrider Foundation looks like it has already been used for years. Which also makes it kind of unique as the case and bezel in black with white flakes are from recycled materials. And these recycled materials are from Casio itself, as the bezel and band are from recycled resin scraps coming from Casio manufacturing facilities.

Now the Surfrider Foundation is a Californian organization (est. 1984) active in 23 countries to protect our oceans. Between 1995 and 2010 Casio created seven models with them, and after 14 years they collaborate again. Well, as far as we can see Casio makes a kind of eco-friendly watch, and the Surfrider Foundation supports that with their name (on the dial and case back). As SRF fights our plastic pollution in the oceans and Casio uses lots of plastic for their products like the G-Shock.

The solar powered Casio G-Shock G-5600SRF Surfrider Foundation has a battery life of 12 months

The solar powered quartz inside is the Casio caliber 3496 (Casio calls it the Module 3496), which can be found in most G-5600U series. And this G-5600SRF. Just forget all that and remember it can do about everything you want if you are travelling the world to surf around and tidy up your waste. And most functions can also be adjusted with your smart phone.

To stick with the environment friendliness of the watch, the Casio G-Shock G-5600SRF Surfrider Foundation comes on a recycled black resin strap. Also, with these white flakes. And the hashtag #oceanfriendlylifestyle printed on the band loop.
