New Casio G-Shock x Pleasures 'Daft Punk' DW-5600 collab watch revealed, launching October 9
Pleasures has revealed its upcoming limited-edition timepiece in collaboration with Daft Punk and Casio G-Shock, and it is slated for release on October 9th at 10AM PST, exclusively via pleasuresnow.com. This collaboration draws direct inspiration from Daft Punk’s iconic, era-defining visual style and musical legacy - and all of it is quite apparent in the design cues visible throughout the watch. The watch features 'Digital Love' branding in red on the display (a reference to Punk’s popular track, Digital Love, from the album Discovery), while the duo's helmet designs are present on the lower bezel.
While the Instagram post doesn't reveal an exact model number, the base of this collaborative watch looks to be the Casio G-Shock DW-5600, which is pretty popular (thanks to its durable resin construction, rectangular digital display, and minimalist interface). The DW-5600 has long been a staple in G-Shock's line-up, especially for its robust 200-meter water resistance, shock resistance, and straightforward digital features.
Los Angeles' based Pleasures has had a lot of Daft Punk collabs in the past, but most of them have been limited to clothes. The vivid neon graphics on the strap should be appealing to both Casio and Daft Punk fans. The watch will be available in limited quantities, and the release will be managed exclusively through Pleasures' web shop. The official reveal announcement and early comments online are pointing towards a lot of anticipation for the watch, but at this time, pricing details are still undisclosed. As with any limited Pleasures drop, you can expect direct, web-only availability and a strictly time-locked launch window.
