Kanesa David — June 22, 2022 — Fashion
G-SHOCK is returning with a new ‘DW-5600GU-7’ watch that revisits the characters that the brand previously used on case backs. The camouflage-like outlines of past G-SHOCK characters are filled in with a black shade that is contrasted by an all-white base. The monochrome watch has a rectangular dial with black and grey outlines of the heroes as the background. Characters like Mudman and Frogman make an appearance.
The ‘DW-5600GU-7’ is shock and water-resistant to 200m, boasting countdown times, a multi-function alarm, and a backlight, among other great features. The watch arrives in a G-SHOCK-branded tin that comes complete with the same whimsical pattern. The new 'DW-5600GU-7' watch will release sometime in July 2022 and is the perfect addition to any collection.
