I mentioned my hero Bruce Lee in a recent post.
I mentioned Casio watches in a recent post.
This post brings those two topics together as it is about a Bruce Lee watch which has been released by Casio!
I wasn’t sure what I thought about this at first, but I have come to like the idea.
Here’s what you need to know:
- The watch has a black and yellow colour theme based on Lee’s iconic outfit from Game of Death
- Bruce Lee’s signature, the Chinese character for his nickname “dragon,” appears at the 3 o’clock position on the dial
- Bruce’s tenet of “Using no way as a way, having no limitation as limitation” appears on the bezel and on the case in Chinese characters
- The Jeet June Do symbol (based on Yin and Yang) also appears on the back
- It’s designed to last with a titanium case and bezel (the bezel is also coated with diamond-like carbon to increase abrasion resistance) and the glass is sapphire crystal with non-reflective interior coating
- It’s a solar-powered G-SHOCK with Bluetooth
- It was released this year to celebrate a significant anniversary for Bruce (he would have been 80 on November 27th)
- Only 300 were made (in Japan) and the RRP is $4,000
So if anyone is looking for something to buy me as a present…
