G‑SHOCK has teamed up with legendary anime franchise, Mobile Suit Gundam, for a new watch collaboration centered on the classic DW‑5600 model.
As teased on G-SHOCK Korea’s Instagram, the collaborative watch arrives in a translucent build from case to strap, featuring a primarily white and blue color scheme that nods to the RX-78-2 Gundam, the iconic mobile suit piloted by Amuro Ray. The design is further elevated by intricate decorative elements that pay direct homage to the rich lore of the original series. The clear resin straps are emblazoned with the Earth Federation Space Force logos and emblems, alongside a thematic yellow Converter System detail that mimics the technical schematics of the iconic mecha.
Flipping over the watch reveals a custom-engraved caseback featuring a winged horse insignia, a celebrated nod to the Pegasus-class assault carriers, like the famous White Base, that housed the series’ heroes. Illuminating the digital display activates a custom LED backlight that reveals a glowing “SINCE 1979” motif, celebrating the foundational year the groundbreaking anime first premiered and forever changed the mecha genre.
The Gundam DW‑5600 watch will be officially released on June 4, 2026, through G-SHOCK Korea. At the time of writing, no release dates for other regions have been confirmed.
