Casio America has partnered with global music artist, J Balvin, to launch a limited-edition G-SHOCK watch, the Ma G-SHOCK DWE5600JB1A9. This collaboration marks G-SHOCK's first collaboration with a Latin artist and the first watch design to feature Spanish text on the dial. The limited-edition timepiece, named after J Balvin's phrase for those closest to him, "Ma G," will be available globally starting Jan. 27, with pre-orders currently open.

Growing up, J Balvin was always drawn to G-SHOCK, connecting the watch with a sense of empowerment. As his passion for art, culture, and fashion developed over the years, the timeless G-SHOCK style remained consistent, embodying the resilience that has defined his journey.
