G-SHOCK continues to celebrate its 40th year anniversary and the latest milestone commemoration is a special DW5600ONS234 project done alongside Oneness. The duo presents a special watch that captures the heritage of the Kentucky Bourbon. Oneness is based in Kentucky and the streetwear imprint is recognized for its collaborative efforts.
The new DW5600ONS234 watch is constructed from resin and done in an amber tonal look that has a gradient visual blending into a deeper maroon, which is done to replicate the look of a glass of bourbon. Notably, the watch is adorned with co-branding details along the face. It reads the quote, "What Are You Waiting On." All of the watches come in bespoke packing with a display stand and fabric bag. It also has a box packaging that resembles a bourbon bottle label.
