Native American-inspired Pro Trek PRG601PE-5 collaboration with U.S. woolens maker Pendleton
May 31, 2023
The PRG601PE-5 is now available for pre-orders in the United States.
The Pro Trek PRG601PE-5 is a collaboration with Pendleton, an American family-owned company established in 1863 that produces woolens in its Pacific Northwest mills. The PRG-601PE-5 has gray ion-plated stainless steel bezel and a cloth band made of recycled PET bottles and featuring the Native American-inspired Pendleton X4 pattern with natural earth colors, which combines the brand’s four iconic textile patterns: Pilot Rock, Wyeth Trail, Canyonlands, and Tucson. The pattern is also printed on the dial with glossy and translucent ink, and the electronic crown has a brown ion plating. Accents on the dial match the band with a blue dial ring and a multi-color second hand and subdial indicator. The watch has a co-branded case back made of bio-based resins, and the full pattern from the band is printed on the exclusive packaging. Also included is the Pendleton Eco-Wise Wool flannel watch pouch with drawstrings.
The PRG601PE-5 is water-resistant to 100 meters and low temperature-resistant to -10C/14F. It is equipped with Tough Solar power (which includes a power saving option to preserve the rechargeable battery in dark settings) and the Triple Sensor (pressure with altimeter and barometer, compass, thermometer). Major functions include world time (29 cities), 1/100-second stopwatch, 60-minute countdown timer, 5 daily alarms, hourly time signal, full auto double LED light, full auto-calendar, auto hand home position correction, and the hand shift function to move the hands away from the LCD display. The watch measures 51.6 × 51.5 × 14.8 millimeters and weighs 62 grams.
In the United States, the PRG601PE-5 has a retail price of $400 and is currently available for pre-orders at casio.com/us, with shipping scheduled for June 2, 2023. In Japan, the PRG-601PE-5JR will be released on June 9 for 55,000 yen. The PRG-601PE-5 is also expected to be released in other countries soon.

Just like the PRW-6600, which this is based on, I wish they would have used white lume instead of the faux vintage cream-colored lume. The white lume gives much better contrast and readability.
