Bold and Pop: A Special Collaboration Model

Gorillaz was founded by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. Their debut album, released in 2001, garnered critical acclaim, topping charts worldwide, leading to global tours, significant CD sales, and numerous music awards. They have achieved success as pioneers, forging a new path for virtual bands.
The special collaboration "G-SHOCK x Gorillaz Collaboration Model" features two new watches from Gorillaz and G-SHOCK. The lineup includes the globally popular square-design "Digital 5600 Series" and the "Analog GA-2000 Series," which allows for easy band replacement thanks to its new structure.
The "GW-B5600GZ" draws inspiration from the color palette of Gorillaz's latest album, "The NOW NOW." It boldly uses pop blue and pink, with a bi-color "NOW" appearing when the backlight is activated. The "GA-2000GZ" features an all-over camouflage pattern from the jacket of Gorillaz's first album, "Gorillaz." It comes with two interchangeable bands: one in vivid color camouflage and another in dark military color camouflage, allowing for easy style changes.
Both models come with special packaging designed to complement their unique collaboration aesthetics.
