With the holiday season upon us, some surprising partnerships are taking the spotlight. While one might not immediately link KFC and watchmaker Casio, this Christmas, they’re teaming up in an unexpected way. Casio is releasing a watch featuring KFC branding just in time to celebrate the season.
The Casio G-Shock GA-2100 watch designed in collaboration with KFC is available exclusively for customers in the UK and Ireland. Its limited-edition red design adds a festive touch, but you’ll find this watch is not available for purchase. Instead, the G-Shock is part of a special Christmas giveaway that began on December 14.
Designer: Casio / KFC
Although the launch of this exciting collaboration is happening exclusively in the UK and Ireland, this vibrant red watch pays homage to the Japanese tradition of enjoying KFC during Christmas. If you’re left guessing as to why it isn’t launching in Japan, well, that’s a mystery we share. Nevertheless, the locale of the launch doesn’t diminish the vibrant spirit of this festive collaboration.
The KFC-branded watch stays true to the features of the original model: the Casio G-Shock GA-2100. It comes equipped with a battery life of three years, alarm functions, a 1/100th-second stopwatch, and a countdown timer. The KFC x Casio G-Shock GA-2100 displays the KFC logo on its band, has a carbon core guard shock-resistant case, and an LED backlight display for low-light visibility.
If a striking, red KFC-branded watch sounds like your kind of thing, then you need to be over in the UK at the moment. That’s where Casio is giving away eleven of these special edition watches. Each day from December 14 through December 24, one watch will be up for grabs at 11:11 AM. Unfortunately, as of now, there’s no way to purchase this watch, so it’s all about seizing the chance in the giveaway.
