G-Shock and streetwear powerhouse Undefeated have reignited their partnership after a two-year hiatus, delivering a versatile collaboration that puts customization front and center.
The new DWE5600UD maintains G-Shock’s iconic rectangular case in black resin but elevates the experience with a vibrant green LCD display and the signature Undefeated branding prominently featured on the bezel.
One Watch, Three Personalities
What truly distinguishes this limited edition is its trio of interchangeable bands that transform the watch’s personality with a simple swap.
The timepiece comes mounted on a translucent black resin strap emblazoned with the Undefeated name, but the package includes two additional exclusive camouflage-patterned alternatives: Undefeated’s signature Tiger camo and a more subtle, translucent desert-inspired storm camo pattern. Changing between these looks is remarkably straightforward, utilizing quick-release spring bars accessible with the included push bar tool.
Beyond its aesthetic versatility, the DWE5600UD delivers the robust functionality G-Shock enthusiasts expect. The Module 3229 offers comprehensive features including world time, perpetual calendar, chronograph, countdown timer, and multiple alarms. With an impressive battery life spanning 2-10 years and 200-meter water resistance, this collaboration blends streetwear style with genuine tactical utility.
A playful hidden feature awaits owners who activate the backlight—Undefeated’s “five-strike” logo appears illuminated against the green display, adding an exclusive Easter egg that reinforces the collaborative nature of this limited edition. Priced at $230, the watch represents compelling value for a collaboration that spans two respected brands with strong collector followings.
Strategic Streetwear Alliance
The G-Shock × Undefeated partnership continues to resonate because it authentically connects two brands with parallel values of durability and street credibility. For Undefeated, camouflage patterns represent a core design element that has defined the brand’s aesthetic since its founding. This collaboration thoughtfully incorporates this signature element, allowing the streetwear giant to express its identity through G-Shock’s technical canvas.
This isn’t merely a surface-level collaboration where logos are exchanged for marketing purposes. The partnership demonstrates a deeper understanding of what enthusiasts from both camps appreciate—functional design with distinctive visual flair. By focusing on interchangeable straps rather than simply altering colors, this edition embraces the modern collector’s desire for customization and versatility from a single purchase.
The release strategy further reflects the collaborative spirit, with availability beginning May 9th exclusively through Undefeated’s chapter stores and website, followed by wider distribution through G-Shock’s Soho flagship and online channels starting May 16th. While production numbers remain undisclosed, previous G-Shock × Undefeated collaborations have become sought-after collectibles, suggesting this edition may follow a similar trajectory.
For watch enthusiasts who appreciate the intersection of streetwear culture and horological durability, the DWE5600UD delivers a compelling package that punches well above its price point.
The ability to transform the watch’s appearance between sleek black, bold tiger camo, and subtle desert camo ensures this G-Shock can adapt to various settings and style preferences—a fitting tribute to the tactical versatility that both brands have built their reputations upon.
