How to find a certain word in a file name and get some characters after it?

For example:

File 01 - Vertical - Day 04 - Model 01-01

File 02 - Model 01-02 - Day 02

How forever find the word Model in a file name and extract the 5 characters that come after it, i.e. XX-XX?

I believe that after finding a way to search for the word Model I can use .substring() to get the characters I want, but I haven't found an exact way to do that, since the place of the word Model doesn't follow a pattern for me can use -Split.

Personally I would go with regex and named capture (though note the (in)famous quote - "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think 'I know, I'll use regular expressions.' Now they have two problems."):

PS C:\windows\system32> 'File 02 - Model 01-02 - Day 02' -match 'Model (?<model>\d -\d )' 
True 
PS C:\windows\system32> $Matches.model 
01-02 

Regex - Model (?<model>\d -\d )', regex explanation @regex101:

Model matches the characters Model literally (case sensitive)
1st Capturing Group (\d -\d )
\d matches a digit zero through nine in any script except ideographic scripts (equivalent to \p{Nd})
matches the previous token between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy)
- matches the character - with index 4510 (2D16 or 558) literally (case sensitive)
