G-SHOCK x Gundam Turns the DW-5600 Into an RX-78-2 Inspired Timepiece

The latest G-SHOCK x Gundam collaboration has officially landed through G-Cosmo Korea, and this one feels like it came straight out of White Base’s storage room.

Using the iconic DW-5600 silhouette, the collaboration wraps the classic square G-SHOCK in a fully transparent resin body paired with a bright Federation-style blue display. The result is a watch that looks surprisingly clean while still screaming Universal Century.

The front of the watch features E.F.S.F. markings on the strap along with subtle red caution-style details that give it the feel of military equipment straight from the original Mobile Suit Gundam series. Even the buckle area carries “Federation Space Force” text, adding another layer of fan service without making the design too loud.

According to the product information shown by G-Cosmo Korea, the watch includes standard G-SHOCK functions like shock resistance, 20-bar water resistance, stopwatch functions, timer modes, multi-alarm support, LED backlight, flash alerts, and a full auto calendar. Battery life is listed at around five years.

The case size comes in at 48.9 × 42.8 × 13.4 mm with a weight of 53g, keeping it close to the comfortable everyday feel longtime DW-5600 fans already know.

The collaboration is listed under the model number DW-5600GM26-7DR and carries a price tag of 220,000 Korean Won with a June 2026 release window. G-Cosmo Korea also notes that purchases are limited to three per person, while shipping began sequentially starting June 5, 2026.

One interesting detail mentioned on the site is that online purchases are automatically registered through Casio’s electronic warranty system instead of receiving a physical warranty card. Korean-language manuals are also not included in the package, though digital manuals are available through the product page.

But honestly, the coolest part might be the event itself.

The collaboration is also getting a special pop-up archive store setup featuring Gundam-themed displays, giant G-SHOCK visuals, and even exclusive Gundam-themed cafe cup holders that are only available at the venue. It feels less like a simple watch launch and more like a mini Universal Century event for fans.

For longtime Gundam fans, this collaboration hits a pretty sweet spot. It does not overload the watch with giant character art or excessive logos. Instead, it leans into that old-school Federation military aesthetic that makes it feel like an actual piece of equipment from the One Year War.
