DurationField was added in Django 1.8. You are using Django 1.6, hence the error.

Your options are to upgrade (which is a good idea if you can, because Django 1.6 has reached end of life quite a while ago) or to downgrade to an older version of Django Rest Framework (the version you currently have is not compatible with Django 1.6).

You may also be able to install the third-party django-duration-field app and then import it with:

from durationfield.db.models.fields.duration import DurationField

... but from the stack trace you posted it looks like it is DRF that is trying to import the model.
