The KFC x G-SHOCK timepiece has been created in collaboration between the QSR brand and the rugged Casio watch brand as a limited-edition accessory for avid fans alike to admire. The watch features the signature design of the G-SHOCK GA-2100 timepiece with its rugged profile and boasts a bold red profile that will immediately call to mind the branding of KFC. The watch is engineered with the brand's carbon core guard technology, is water-resistant to 200-meters and pays homage to the festive tradition of enjoying KFC at Christmastime in Japan.
The KFC x G-SHOCK timepiece is limited to just 11 examples as a nod to the QSR brand's signature 11 herbs and spices recipe, but isn't available for purchase and is instead being given away to lucky winners.
