The first BABY-G shock-resistant watch for active women was released in 1994 and celebrated its 25th anniversary this year! To celebrate the special occasion, Casio is collaborating with The Pokémon Company on a special edition of the BABY-G watch inspired by Pikachu, the 25th Pokémon in the Pokédex.
Longtime fans of the Pokémon video game franchise will enjoy details on the BABY-G watch reflecting the style of the original Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue video games released in 1996 in an edgy way.
The numbers “0:25” are printed on the band loop, while on a black base, the watchband has been decorated with neon, polygon-style Pikachu lightning marks and Poké Balls. The design on the dial references the original game screen, giving the watch a very 90s feel. A polygon-style Pikachu appears when the Electro-luminescent backlight is turned on, and Pikachu’s rear view is engraved on the back cover. Even the packaging is shaped like a Poké Ball!
The model is now available at all G Factory stores and authorised dealers, and is retailing at RM579.
