New translucent limited-edition Casio G-Shock DW-5600 officially announced

There’s been a significant uptick in Casio’s collaborations with brands and popular franchises lately, resulting in some really exciting watches. The G-Shock x Coca-Cola and Gundam-themed DW-5600 are two of the best examples. Now Casio has teamed up with Seoul-based street brand thisisneverthat. The result is a clean-looking black-and-white watch with an inverted display.

Like we’ve already seen on so many recent Casio collaborations, the new watch is based on the iconic DW-5600. It combines a translucent resin bezel and band with a black case and inverted LCD for a striking high-contrast look. In Casio's words, the design "blends 1990s mood with a contemporary street edge."

The logo of thisisneverthat prominently appears on the front, right above the display, as well as on the band loop. A stylised version of the logo also appears engraved on the case back.

The DW-5600TNT-7 also packs a small visual delight in the form of a glow-in-the-dark effect, where the phosphorescent finish causes the PROTECTION and G-SHOCK text on the bezel to glow green. It also features a crisp white LED Super Illuminator backlight.

The watch still boasts shock resistance and robust 200-meter water resistance, and comes loaded with handy time-keeping features like a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer, a multi-function alarm with a flash alert buzzer, and an auto-calendar to 2099.

The official announcement mentions that the watch will ship in a special package, though it appears to be a relatively simple cardboard box featuring the logos of thisisneverthat and Casio G-Shock.
