New Casio G‑Shock x Bamford collaboration teased: expect a fast sell-out
Casio G‑Shock UK and Bamford Watch Department have posted matching “Soon” teasers on Instagram, each featuring a black tile punctuated by a Bamford‑blue G. That near‑aqua hue has become a calling card for the partnership, and its return strongly suggests a third co‑branded model is imminent. No specs, price, or release date have been announced yet, but community chatter from noted G‑Shock enthusiast @morgan_gshock points to a GM‑5600 base. Until there’s an official reveal, consider that detail an informed rumor.
The first Bamford collaboration arrived in 2020 with the Bamford London x G‑Shock built on the classic square, officially the GW‑M5610BWD20‑1ER. It paired Bamford‑blue accents with a negative LCD, radio‑sync Multi‑Band 6, and Tough Solar. The drop sold out in roughly three minutes, underlining the pent‑up demand when these two names team up.
In 2022, the partnership shifted to the round DW‑6900BWD‑1ER, introducing a “triple blue” concept across the dial, bezel accents, and a dual‑layer band, complete with Bamford branding on the face, strap, and keeper. George Bamford noted the 6900 was his first G‑Shock, and fans responded in kind: queues formed at the Carnaby Street store and the online sell‑through was rapid.
Given that track record, expect the next release to be tight on availability and quick to move, especially if it blends the recognizable Bamford‑blue palette with a crowd‑pleasing 5600 profile. If the GM‑5600 speculation pans out, anticipate the familiar square silhouette with a metal‑covered twist—though final materials, features, and finishes remain unconfirmed.
