Some collaborations add a logo, this one redraws the frame. The G-SHOCK x Joshua Vides Collection takes the DW-5600 and DW-6900 and dresses them in thick black lines and high-contrast panels, as if they have stepped straight out of a sketchbook. The renowned artist’s monochrome ‘Reality to Idea’ concept reduces objects to pure outlines and graphic essentials – quintessentially Joshua Vides.

Reality, outlined

Vides is known for transforming familiar objects into black-and-white scenes that look ripped from a comic strip and dropped into the real world. That MO runs through the DW-5600JV-7 and DW-6900JV-1 via a strict black-and-white palette and multi-angle printing that makes the cases look drawn rather than cast.

Handwritten-style function labels circle the dial, the LED backlight reveals his signature traffic cone motif, and a custom-engraved case back signs off the collaboration. Custom packaging carries both G-SHOCK and Vides branding, so even the unboxing feels like part of the installation.

DW-5600JV-7: paper and ink

The DW-5600JV-7 treats the square G-SHOCK icon like a blank page. A gloss white base sets the stage for strong black accents on the band, case, and dial that read like marker strokes around the silhouette. Joshua’s hand-drawn dial artwork anchors the face. Trigger the backlight and his cone motif appears as a hidden panel.

Underneath the sketch, the DW-5600 DNA is intact:

  • Shock resistant
  • 200-metre water resistance
  • Stopwatch and countdown timer
  • LED backlight (Super Illuminator)
  • Flash alert
  • 12/24-hour formats
  • 48.9 × 42.8 × 13.4 mm, 52 g

DW-6900JV-1: shadow and contour

The DW-6900JV-1 answers in matte black. White stripes track along the contours, outlining the triple-circle display and rounded case like highlights on a dark panel. The dial again carries Joshua’s hand-drawn work, with the cone motif lighting up via the backlight.

The spec sheet stays true to the 6900 blueprint:

  • Shock resistant
  • 200-metre water resistance
  • Stopwatch and countdown timer
  • LED backlight (Super Illuminator)
  • Flash alert
  • 12/24-hour formats
  • 53.2 × 50 × 18.7 mm, 67 g
