G-Shock X Huf Collaboration Release
The limited edition HUF timepiece is built on the platform of the skate-inspired GD400 with its bold metal face protector, extra tough lug band attachment, and super illuminator LED. The collab turns it up a notch and takes it to the streets with an etched band inspired by “cracked concrete”, an all-over black out colourway with black IP metal parts, HUF logo etched on case back and appearing in the LCD display when the light is activated. Additional functionality includes 48-city world time, 5-daily alarms, countdown timer, stopwatch, as well as military 24-hr time format option. Standard with Casio G-SHOCK toughness, this vital timepiece is Shock and 200-meter Water Resistant.
Driven by the ideals of self-expression and the freedom for individual belief, HUF's mission parallels those of the Casio G-SHOCK brand. The long-term bond between the brands spans decades complimenting one another through various avenues of creativity and culture, bridging together the most respected in skateboard, street wear and sneaker communities. This relationship ultimately led to a timepiece that excels in durability and functionality that withstands the environments that they're built for.
For HUF’s new collaboration with G-Shock, the desire was to create a custom piece that was not only both timeless and wearable, but also spoke to the heritage of both brands. By utilising G-Shock's durable GD400 model, HUF was able to produce a watch that could withstand the shock and stress of skateboarding. The signature HUF Quake pattern etched into the band speaks to the brand’s original San Francisco-street roots. All blacked-out and highlighted by a HUF green LCD backlight, the watch is a clean and classic piece for anyone and everyone.
"I used to skate for G-Shock back in the day and we always carried their watches at our original HUF shops in San Francisco and Los Angeles, so I was very happy when the opportunity arose to work together on a project that would speak to both our brands through one collaborative piece," stated Keith Hufnagel, HUF founder.
