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.  

The collaboration follows his headlining performance at G-SHOCK's 40th anniversary celebration and blends the brand's renowned durability with JBalvin's distinctive style. The watch features an interchangeable band and bezel set, allowing up to eight design combinations. With sleek black and vibrant yellow options, users can customize the appearance to match their preferences. The watch face is adorned with J Balvin's lightning bolt motif, inspired by his electrifying performances, and includes a handwritten function description in Spanish for a personal touch.  

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.
