The model code for the watch is DW5600HUF-1 incase you wanted to search for it however we will warn you its not available just yet so if you would like one let us know and we can pre-order one for you free of charge. The watch celebrates HUF and Casio’s impressive relationship milestone by displaying each year in text on the strap each one represents each year of the brand’s 15 years commitment. The watch also have the text “Hours Unaccounted For” printed on the watch directly on the lower band, an acronym play on HUF representing inexplicable times passed.
The signature HUF bar logo is an instantly recognisable logo in the fashion world today. Casio and HUF have added it to the top of the dial as well as adding it to the digital dial. It even lights up at the touch of a button on the watch’s face, while a throwback graphic character known as the 15-armed Party Puss is embossed onto the watches case back alongside a ‘15 Beers Strong’ tagline. Each watch will also be encased in special packaging that resembles the brand’s signature shoe boxes.
