New Casio x Hidden NY G-Shock collab watch now officially available to buy in the US
The highly anticipated DW5600HDN257, the latest collab watch from Casio’s G-Shock line and New York streetwear label Hidden NY, is officially available for purchase in the United States. For reference, this is the second joint release between the two brands, building on their previous DW5600HDN227 model.
The DW5600HDN257 introduces a minimalist color scheme with a transparent white resin bezel, green accents, and crisp matte white bands featuring Hidden NY’s branding. A unique feature is the inclusion of black bull bars for additional face protection (and for the sake of aesthetic) which is rarely found on standard DW5600 watches.
The watch face doesn't stray too far from G-Shock’s core DNA, but branding from both collaborators is integrated throughout the design. Hidden NY’s logo appears on the band, and it lights up orange through the LED backlight - in line with Hidden NY’s "In the Blink of an Eye" collection. The product further ships with a custom metal case and a white-and-green Hidden NY-branded box.
Here's a quick rundown of all the technical specs:
- Case Size: 48.9 x 42.8 x 13.5 mm
- Material: Resin case and band, mineral glass
- Water Resistance: Up to 200 meters
- Battery Life: Estimated five years on CR2016 cell
- Other functions: 1/100th second stopwatch, Countdown timer, Hourly time signal and multifunction alarm, Full auto-calendar (to 2099), LED backlight with afterglow, 12/24-hour format
The DW5600HDN257 is now purchasable online and is expected to reach select US retailers. Given rapid sellout patterns for prior Casio x Hidden NY collaborations, early purchase is probably the best bet for collectors and G-Shock fans alike.
