Enjoy Japanese Unique Features in PRW-6900!

Functional beauty full of robustness. Square form forged bezel
A stainless steel material is used for the bezel, and a sharp surface structure is formed by forging. Each part is polished separately with hairline and mirror, and finished beautifully with IP treatment. An exterior design that combines powerful molding beauty and sophisticated functional beauty with the image of a full-fledged outdoor style such as bushcraft.

Dial design inspired by survival tools.
On the base of the dial, the surface of a casting like a Dutch oven is expressed with clear matte printing. The indexes are notched, and the texture is enhanced with metallic vapor deposition. The 9 o’clock side in-dial is laid out with a mode needle with a camp knife motif. The hour and minute seconds hands are colored to resemble the flames of a campfire.

Eco-friendly biomass plastic.
The advantages of radio-controlled watches are obvious: Once they have been set to the relevant time zone, they always display the exact local time. All CASIO radio watches receive signals almost anywhere in Europe. Some models even receive signals in North America, parts of Canada and Mexico (the radio tower in Fort Collins sends signals for a radius of up to 3200 km) and even in Japan or China. In Europe, the change from summer to winter time is also completely automatic.

Flame- retardant leather band that combines practicality and design.
Uses a flame-retardant leather band that is resistant to punctures even when exposed to sparks from cooking or campfires. The brown color that harmonizes with the black IP metal exterior creates a classical outdoor style.


Triple Sensor. PRO TREK watches are equipped with the latest Triple Sensor, version 3 technology, making them even more accurate than before. Three highly sensitive, extremely small sensors measure with absolute precision and instantly display changes in your environment. The precision of the digital compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer is only possible with the Triple Sensor technology. At the same time, the three layer sensor is 95% smaller and consumes 90% less energy than before.

Multi-band 6 radio wave solar that keeps accurate time powered by light


Super illuminator
(high-brightness full-auto double LED light) that ensures visibility in dark places

Official Description from Casio.

From the authentic outdoor gear PRO TREK for those who love nature, it is a model equipped with radio solar that uses environmentally friendly eco materials. With a rough outdoor style as the design theme, the metal bezel has a sharp shape with the sides scraped off, reminiscent of an ax for chopping wood. The in-dial needle also has a sharp design shape that resembles an outdoor tool knife. The second hand is colored with an orange gradation that gives the image of a swaying flame. The dial has an uneven design that evokes the surface of a cast iron like a Dutch oven. Biomass plastic material is used for the soft urethane band, case and resin back cover. It is a model packed with high functionality and practicality that can be used in various scenes, with practical functions such as multiband 6 and tough solar.

Enjoy our PROTREK PRW-6900 Watch Review

The dial background is made of a textured material similar to a Dutch oven iron-like surface and is a design that embodies everything one loves about bushcraft. I really like this kind of bushcraft because a watch is foremost a work of art, not just an accurate time. Well… At least to me, it is. If you take away the whole creation story, you will still notice the previously mentioned pretty details. Read Full Review →

The most distinctive specs of PRW-6900 *Editorial
— Massive octagonal bezel (the stainless steel octagonal bezel features tapered edges, evoking the sharp edge of a sturdy wood axe)
— 100-meter water resistance
(good for swimming but not for deep diving)
Biomass plastics in the case, band, and case back (the environmentally friendly biomass plastics are produced using materials derived from castor seeds and corn, as well as other raw materials)
— Tough Solar (CASIO’s original solar-charging system converts not only sunlight but also light from fluorescent lamps and other sources into power)
— Radio-controlled Watch; Multi band 6 (additional way for time sync. This watch receives time calibration radio signals that keep the displayed time accurate)
— Low temperature resistant (stable operation of the watch is guaranteed even at a temperature of -20°C)
— Digital compass (measures and displays direction as one of 16 points)
— Thermometer (can measure and display the outside temperature in a range from -10 C to 60 C)
— Barometer (measures the air pressures and displays tendencies in the weather)
— Altimeter (The electronic mechanism “estimates” the altitude based on the air pressure)
