As part of a "unique collaborative effort", G-Shock has partnered with Blvck Scvle to deliver a "new perspective" on its famous DW5600 watch to reinvent the classic timepiece, it has been revealed.

The DW5600BLK-7 aims to form fond memories of the very first G-Shock with a square-shaped bezel on white backdrop complemented with black Blvck Scvle emblems as well as a custom engraved back case and imperial purple dial, making it a "true collector''s item".

Performance and durability continue to be the trademarks of the brand and the Casio watch features shock and water resistance to 200 metres, as well as a multi-function alarm, countdown timer and stopwatch.

Wil Eddins of Supply Circuit said: "We are very excited for the release of this new model and to have had the pleasure to work with G-Shock. This design is a fashionable yet functional piece that translates to our lifestyle."

Last December, Casio watches announced a partnership with Globe, a skateboarding firm that it feels represents a lot about its own brand.
