Casio’s Baby-G is commemorating the 30th anniversary of The Powerpuff Girls with a special collaboration featuring a vibrant new timepiece. This playful white wristwatch is adorned with pink, blue, and green stripes, representing the iconic trio: Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. The squared watch face is encased in a white bezel, prominently displaying "PROTECTION" in playful pink lettering.
Elsewhere, the collection includes a pink pendant-style timepiece that serves as a quirky accessory. It is complete with an adjustable string for versatility as a bag charm. The watch face is interchangeable between the watch and pendant, merging functionality with a fun, feminine design.
The cartoon-themed watch is packaged in a charming box decorated with stickers featuring the iconic superheroes, and it is now available for purchase on Casio's website.
