Online Ceramics works in collaboration with [Hodinkee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hodinkee-2) on the special limited-edition [G-SHOCK Ref. 5600](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-ref-5600-1) timepiece. It has been in the works for a couple of years. It embodies a rich green color and it follows a recent iteration of the G-SHOCK Ref. 5600, which was seen in yellow. There are subtle accents that nod to the kookier left-field values connected to the language of Online Ceramics.

Speaking about the collaboration, VP of [Casio Timepiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jae-tips) division Tadashi Shibuya explains, "We’re excited to unveil the latest collaboration with Hodinkee and Online Ceramics’ imaginative touch. This series represents a collective journey of imagination, with each collaborator leaving an indelible mark on the G-SHOCK legacy. We look forward to the third and final chapter, as we continue to reimagine the intersection of creativity, innovation, and timekeeping."
