Casio Debuts a Collaboration with the Card Game UNO
Casio has partnered with UNO to launch a new watch, merging the two iconic brands. This collaboration features Casio’s vintage A168 style watch, specifically the A168WEUC-1A model. The watch showcases a sophisticated gunmetal gray-hued ion-plated case complemented by a black ion-plated band, exuding a timeless yet modern aesthetic.
The most striking element of this timepiece is the watch face, which integrates the signature UNO Wild Card colors and the UNO brand name. Further enhancing the watch's unique appeal is the EL backlight that illuminates the word 'Wild' and the UNO name when activated. The case back and watch strap clasp are engraved with the numbers 1, 6, and 8, paying homage to the classic UNO cards.
This collaborative watch is presented in special co-branded packaging made from recycled materials. The Casio x UNO A168WEUC-1A watch, priced at $99.95 USD, is now available for purchase online at Casio.
