Introducing the third signature model from pro surfer Kanoa Igarashi, a mainstay in the World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour, the world’s ultimate pro-surfing series. Based on the G-LIDE GLX5600 watch for extreme sports, this new model boasts a mixed-colour resin bezel and band that represent dynamic waves, with Igarashi’s signature in different places on the watch itself.

CASIO and Kanoa Igarashi team up again for a third signature G-SHOCK collaboration. Take to the waves in a special timepiece designed with the stellar TEAM G-SHOCK pro surfer.

This watch is all about stealth black— a base of jet-black and a case and band in different shades of black, at Kanoa’s request.

We begin with the GLX5600 from the G-LIDE line. The wide watch face with LCD delivers clear tide graph and moon age readings like previous models, and also provides high/low tide times and levels, and sunrise/sunset times — all at a glance.

Tough and practical with a metal wire frame to protect the watch face, this is a design that is also gentle on the environment. Bio-based resin in a mix of black and grey for the bezel and band helps reduce environmental impact while creating a unique pattern that evokes vigorous, dynamic waves — this special collaboration does it all with style.

This watch is built to help surfers prepare for tough competitions around the world with the never-give-up toughness worthy of a surfing champion.

Kanoa’s signature on the watch glass adds a final touch of inspiration for the intrepid surfer ready to take to the water.

Kanoa Igarashi

Pro surfer Igarashi started surfing at the age of three, and at age nine, he became the youngest person ever to join the USA surfing team. At the age of 14, he became the youngest ever to win the USA Championship Under-18. He began participating in the WSL Championship Tour in 2016, and has gone on to win a number of major surfing competitions.

Caution: Individual Differences in Products

Due to the characteristics of mixed material colour of resin, there are individual differences in the pattern, colour tone, and distribution/amount of colour resins on the surface of each part (bezel, band) for each timepiece.

The bezel and band feature mixed-color molding, the interplay of black and gray evoking vigorous waves. They are made with bio-based resin, which is expected to help reduce environmental impact. A black ion-plated bumper protector adds to the toughness of the watch.
