Casio is releasing a new G-Shock watch in collaboration with the Tokyo-based streetwear label BlackEyePatch. This marks the third time the two companies have partnered on a release. The new model, the DW-5600BEP-9, is scheduled to launch in October 2026. It will retail for ¥19,800 ($129) in Japan, and its appearance on Casio’s global website indicates it will be available in international markets as well.
Design Details
The watch is a modified version of the DW-5600, which is Casio’s standard square-faced digital watch. The main difference for this release is the color scheme. The bezel and the strap are molded in a bright gold tone, which is paired with a standard black digital display.
Casio says that the design is meant to reference hip-hop culture, which aligns with BlackEyePatch’s usual apparel output. Aside from the color, the watch features an engraved BlackEyePatch logo on the stainless steel case back and comes in custom packaging.
From a materials standpoint, the bezel and band are made from bio-based resin. Casio has been transitioning most of its new G-Shock models to this material over the last couple of years as a renewable alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics.
Internally, the DW-5600BEP-9 is a standard DW-5600. It has a case size of 48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4 mm and weighs 53 grams. It includes the standard G-Shock shock resistance and 200 meters of water resistance. The watch runs on a CR2016 battery, which Casio estimates will last for about five years.
The software features are also standard for this module. It includes a 1/100-second stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, a multi-function alarm, and an hourly time signal. The backlight is a white LED that can be set to flash when an alarm or timer goes off. The calendar is pre-programmed through the year 2099, and the timekeeping is accurate to plus or minus 15 seconds per month.
In related news, Casio has recently launched new premium Frogman and Mudmaster watches built for extreme conditions, along with three new Master of G models in the US featuring a striking Horizon Gold finish.
