BlackEyePatch and G-SHOCK Collaborated on Three New Watch Designs
Riley von Niessen — December 4, 2020 — Fashion
Taking inspiration from Japanese Daruma, BlackEyePatch and G-SHOCK joined forces to create a series of timepieces that are designed around the dolls, which are said to represent "perseverance and good fortune."
The DW-6900, DW-5600, and GA-100 models have all been updated with vibrant colorways that combine hues of red and black, with intricate designs included on the watch faces to highlight the Daruma theme. This includes black designs that are included alongside the digital features, which are meant to replicate the eyebrows and beards that are painted onto the round dolls.
The watch is water-resistant up to 200 meters, boasts an anti-magnetic structure, can be used to set alarms, and includes a long-lasting battery that won't need to be replaced for at least two years.
