C2H4® x G-SHOCK Launch Retro-Futuristic GM-5600 "Space Age Edition"
A nod to the space age.
C2H4® and G-SHOCK are blasting off into the retro-futuristic realm with their sleek new collaboration, the GM-5600 Space Age Edition. This isn’t just a wristwatch—it’s a design journey that rockets back to the heyday of the Space Age while keeping one foot firmly planted in today’s cutting-edge aesthetic. Think streamlined shapes, innovative materials, and a palette that whispers minimalism with a wink of boldness.
Wrapped in a polished mirror-finished metal frame, the GM-5600 exudes sleek sophistication. But it’s what’s underneath that catches your eye—a backlight patterned with the LAX Theme Building, a playful nod to the architectural gem of Space Age design. The dial gets a futuristic grid makeover with a red accent that practically glows, while the translucent strap with dotted red stripes keeps things intriguingly dynamic.
And the packaging? Oh, it’s out of this world. At first glance, the capsule-like box might make you think of a Sci-Fi space pod straight out of 2001: A Space Odyssey. But in a cheeky twist, the real inspiration comes from the retro ATC Genie Telephone, tying the futuristic aesthetic back to its roots. Engraved with the same Theme Building motif as the watch face, the packaging brings the whole cosmic vibe full circle.
Mark your calendars: the GM-5600 Space Age Edition hits the official C2H4® and G-SHOCK webstores on January 9, with select G-SHOCK offline stores joining the party on January 11. This collab isn’t just about keeping time—it’s about making a statement, one sci-fi-inspired second at a time.
