Casio collabs with XG on new G-Shock line
Casio has released two new additions in its G-Shock line of watches in collaborations with hip hop and R&B group, XG.
The GM-S5600XG and GMA-S110XG were created in partnership with Jurin, Chisa, Hinata, Harvey, Juria, Maya and Cocona, the individuals who make up the seven-member band.
As part of the release, Casio explained that the aim with each watch was to capture the worldview of XG through its own distinct design.
Built on the 5600 line, which inherits the iconic form of the first-ever G-Shock, the new GM-S5600XG features glass finished in rainbow vapor deposition.
The color of the glass appears differently depending on the viewing angle, creating a distinctive look that reflects the multifaceted XG worldview.
The XG logo adorns the dial, band loop, and case back, while the band and bezel are finished in chic black, making the watch refined and versatile enough for everyday wear.
The other watch in the collection is the GMA-S110XG. Built on the 110 line of watches known for their dimensional dial, the new release stands out with a vivid pink band and bezel.
These components are crafted with Garal color molding techniques that mix resins of different colors, creating a one-of-a-kind marbled design that captures the energetic vibe of 1990s R&B and pop.
The dial is treated with a polarized finish for a look of colors that change with the tilt of the wrist. Like the other model, the XG logo adorns the dial, band loop, and case back.
