Before setting off on a North American tour later this year, J Balvin is making history with G-Shock on a new collaborative watch.
The partnership marks the watch brand’s first product collaboration with a Latin artist and a “first-of-its-kind design” timepiece that includes Spanish text on the dial. The limited-edition watch is available for pre-orders now on the G-Shock website with a general release on Jan. 27. Shop the watch here or below.
The limited-edition DWE5600 model features an interchangeable bezel and band in two different colors — translucent matte yellow and a sleek classic black, which fans can mix and match both options to create their favorite look. The watch face design is equally distinctive, featuring Balvin’s signature lightning bolt motif with the case back and LED backlight all including similar logos.
“G-SHOCK’s tough and bold style has always resonated with my journey,” says J Balvin in a statement. “With this launch, I wanted to create something that reflects my music and culture, while also giving fans a unique way to express themselves. This watch does just that, with bold, interchangeable parts that let everyone make it their own. I’m excited to bring this new product to life and continue my journey with a brand I’ve always loved.”
The watch comes with all the popular bells and whistles that G-Shock is known for, including a shock-resistant, carbon core guard structure, 200m water resistant, stopwatch, countdown timer, multi-function alarm, LED light, 12/24 hr. time formats, and a full auto calendar.
