G-SHOCK Coca-Cola anniversary watch is a commemorative timepiece created to mark the beverage brand’s 140th anniversary, translating the contour bottle into a wristwatch format. The design features a curved case and strap that reference the bottle’s silhouette, paired with a glossy red finish that reflects the brand’s established color identity. The dial incorporates Coca-Cola script branding alongside graphic elements derived from historical packaging design.
The watch retains standard G-SHOCK construction, including shock-resistant housing and digital display functions such as timekeeping, alarms, and backlight illumination. Structural details focus on molded curves across the case and strap, reinforcing the bottle-inspired geometry. Packaging is developed with bottle-shaped proportions and printed graphics, extending the same visual language across both the product and its presentation.
