Casio has unveiled a signature watch honoring Andrés Iniesta, celebrated as one of the greatest midfielders in football history. This new timepiece, built on the iconic DW5600 G-SHOCK model, captures Iniesta’s impressive career and valiant spirit in every detail. The tribute watch features Iniesta’s distinctive signature, logo, and squad number, presented in a unique design that includes special packaging.
ANDRÉS INIESTA
Born on May 11, 1984, Andrés Iniesta is a renowned professional football player from Spain who plays as a midfielder. Iniesta joined FC Barcelona’s youth squad at the age of 12 and made his first-team debut in the UEFA Champions League in 2002. His illustrious career includes four Champions League titles, nine La Liga championships, and three FIFA Club World Cup trophies. In 2018, Iniesta transferred from FC Barcelona to Vissel Kobe, and he currently plays for the UAE Pro League club Emirates.
Signature Design Elements
The watch face prominently features Iniesta’s name, with an “8” marked on the button at the 8 o’clock position, referencing his famous squad number. His signature is engraved on the case back. The watch’s red accent color symbolizes the spirit and passion that drive both Iniesta and the G-SHOCK brand, reflecting colors found in both the Japanese and Spanish national flags.
A special handwritten message from Iniesta, “Master the game,” is printed on the band, and his official logo, combining his initials A and I, adorns the band loop. When the backlight is activated, Iniesta’s silhouette, capturing his legendary goal that secured Spain’s first International Football Competitions victory in 2010, appears on the LCD.
Sustainable Materials and Packaging
Key resin components of the bezel and band are made with bio-based resin, produced using renewable organic resources to reduce environmental impact. The watch comes in a special eco-package made from recycled materials, and includes original stickers featuring Iniesta’s “Master the game” phrase and signature.
