Gorillaz collaborate with G-Shock for limited edition
Due to popular demand following the sold out 2018 collection, GORILLAZ X G-SHOCK is back with a final unique collaboration featuring two limited-edition G-Shock styles – designed by Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett – with inspiration drawn from two acclaimed albums from the Grammy and BRIT Award winning British band – ‘Gorillaz’ and ‘The Now Now’. The limited edition 2019 collaboration also concludes the adventures of G-Shock creator Mr. Ibe and Gorillaz band members – Noodle, Murdoc Nichols, Russel Hobbs and 2D – with their return to Mr. Ibe’s Tokyo R&D Centre following a hair-raising trip through outer space to realise their mutually aligned intergalactic goals. See what happens next when you watch the final episode here at gshock.co.uk/gorillaz and Gorillaz YouTube, art-directed by Jamie Hewlett, with French directors collective BRVTVS. The two bespoke collaboration styles are DW-5600 and GA-2000. The classic DW-5600 has been reimagined in celebration of Gorillaz’ most recent album ‘The Now Now’ and in honour of the album’s distinctive artwork, the design features a colour combination of pop blue and pink. And in another nod to the record, the bi-colour message ‘NOW’ floats onto the display whenever it is illuminated by the backlight. The DW-5600 also has a Bluetooth capability which can be synced with G-Shock’s proprietary app, allowing access to a variety of features and functions direct from your Smartphone. The GA-2000 is the latest watch to be launched by G-Shock and – in honour of Gorillaz’ 2001 eponymous debut release – features the iconic camo print familiar to Gorillaz fans worldwide. This watch comes complete with two wrist bands – one featuring the camo print and the other a darker military style – which can be easily interchanged and worn alternatively. The collector’s edition box also features 2001 era design incarnations of the Gorillaz characters. Both models sport standard G-SHOCK iconic features including shock, vibration and water resistance. The limited edition GORILLAZ x G-SHOCK collection will launch in-store and online at 10am BST on Wednesday 18th September at www.g-shock.co.uk and at the G-SHOCK Carnaby Street Store. Priced at £149, limited numbers available.
