Casio has rolled out an exciting addition to its G-Shock and Baby-G collections through a special collaboration with Chums, the outdoor lifestyle brand, and Li-Ning, the Chinese sportswear powerhouse. These unique timepieces, each exuding their brand’s essence, bring a fresh twist with rugged designs and vibrant hues. But here’s the catch—they’re exclusively available in China.
The G-Shock DW-5600LICH25-5PFL stands as a testament to classic meets contemporary. Maintaining the iconic square case of the DW-5600, it incorporates a chic beige resin case accompanied by a removable fabric strap flaunting a camouflage pattern. Adding to its distinctiveness is the red, climbing rope-inspired lanyard that makes this watch a versatile fashion statement—wear it around your neck or attach it to your backpack. Even the minimalist watch face captures the eye with a bold red Chums logo.
Key features of this watch include:
– A camo design strap that can be easily detached.
– Chums’ unmistakable branding engraved on the case back.
– A military-style protective storage case for safekeeping.
– All the beloved standard features of the DW-5600, including shock resistance, 200m water resistance, an EL backlight, and stopwatch.
On a lighter and more playful end, the Baby-G BA-110XLICH25-7PFL charms with its frosty white resin case, accented with gentle hues of purple and blue. The watch face is detailed with metallic pink and silver accents that add depth to its layered dial design.
This Baby-G variant boasts:
– Chums branding prominently displayed on the dial.
– A lunchbox-inspired packaging case.
– A vibrant pastel ensemble that delights the senses.
– 100m water resistance, reliable shock protection, world time functions, and a stopwatch.
Despite their allure, Casio’s Chinese exclusivity policy on these models means that the DW-5600LICH25-5PFL is available in China at ¥990 (~$140), while the Baby-G BA-110XLICH25-7PFL is slightly more affordable at ¥890 (~$125). As of now, there’s no word on a global release, making these unique pieces a coveted choice for watch enthusiasts in China.
