Since 2024 is the 50th anniversary of Casio, the iconic brand is planning to launch a new line of watches to commemorate the anniversary. However, such models were introduced in different regions. Casio Japan was recently hacked, so it had to push the launch forward. As a result, new watch models were only revealed by Casio Hong Kong.

According to an image that was published on the Casio Hong Kong Instagram, the team behind the brand plans to introduce these models into the market: Edifice EFS-S640ZE-1A, Baby-G BGD-S565ZE-1, Pro Trek PRW-6900ZE-1, and G-Shock GMC-B2100ZE-1A. While such models haven’t made it to Casio America’s official page, they will be rolled into the American market in late October.

Is there anything better than a new watch? How about a new watch that donates to a good cause? Since October is breast cancer awareness month, Casio has launched two different pink models—the GMD-S5610PK-4 and DW-5600PK-1—into the market to help raise awareness of this disease.

Some 5% of profits that are made from the sales of the DW-5600PK-1 and GMD-S5610PK-4 will be donated to the J.POSH non-profit organization. Besides that, Casio America, the main organization behind these watches, will wire $20,000 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, even if the two models don’t make enough sales.
