Cult sneaker customizer SABOTAGE (SBTG) is back again with another G-SHOCK collaboration to celebrate Casio’s 35th anniversary. The G-SHOCK x SBTG DW-5600 is the first collaboration as part of the ORIGINS campaign that celebrates the DW-5600 watch model – one of the most iconic and original G-SHOCK watches.
SBTG is fairly known for its military-inspired designs, especially the hand-painted camouflage patterns by Mark Ong. The vision for the project was to create a timepiece that would embody Mark Ong’s design philosophy of constant improvements as a journey and an end unto itself. Mark Ong specifically picked out the DW-5600 model to customize, in relation to the origin and forerunner of the entire G-SHOCK family, and G-SHOCK’s journey of absolute toughness.
Decked out in a matte military green, the watch in SBTG’s signature leopard camouflage pattern around its LCD display. The display itself is protected by “bull bar” wireframe protectors and the built-in redundancies reinforce military equipment. The display and case back bear SBTG’s brand signature and the DW-5600 model tag. When activating the watch, the backlight will reveal SBTG’s slogan, “Destroy To Create”.
Come by for the launch of G-SHOCK x SBTG DW-5600 will be released on 3.30pm March 16, at Crossover Mid Valley. Mark Ong himself will be appeared as meet and greet section.
