Japanese streetwear imprint BAPE works in collaboration with watchmakers G-SHOCK on a new iteration of the GA-110 wristwatch. The timepiece is designed to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the BAPE and the 25th year for G-SHOCK. The watch is completely adorned with BAPE's iconic CAMO design all throughout with a captivating gold accent along the watch's face. On the back of the piece, there are additional branding details through the form of BAPE's APE HEAD engraved -- this is accompanied by Casio and G-SHOCK accenting as well.
Additional elements of the timepiece include its shock resisting sensibilities, waterproof properties, and anti-magnetic functions. The GA-110 celebratory watch will be launching for pre-sale on September 29 in Tokyo at the BAPE XXV drop with a wider drop to follow on October 6.
