Ghost in the Shell x G-Shock DW-5600 Limited Edition Japanese Digital Watch

The Ghost in the Shell x G-Shock DW-5600 is a limited-edition collaboration released to coincide with the Ghost in the Shell Exhibition held at Tokyo Node in Toranomon Hills from January 30 to April 5, 2026 — marking 37 years since the legendary manga first launched the franchise. Built on the iconic square DW-5600 platform that traces its lineage back to the original 1983 DW-5000, this watch translates the cyberpunk aesthetic of Ghost in the Shell into a wearable piece of the franchise's history.

The details are understated but purposeful: turquoise G-Shock bezel text evoking the teal cyber-tones of the series, Ghost in the Shell branding on both dial and strap, and the watch's defining easter egg — activate the electro-luminescent backlight and Major Motoko Kusanagi's silhouette materialises behind the time display, as if emerging from the network itself. Presented in a white collector's box emblazoned with a portrait of The Major and the official Ghost in the Shell logo.

Key Features:

• Motoko Kusanagi EL Backlight Reveal: The watch's defining detail — when the electro-luminescent backlight is activated, a silhouette of Major Motoko Kusanagi appears on the display panel, floating behind the time like a ghost in the machine.
• Ghost in the Shell Exhibition Exclusive: Released specifically to accompany the Ghost in the Shell Exhibition at Tokyo Node in Toranomon Hills (January 30 – April 5, 2026) — a venue-specific limited release that was not part of Casio's standard retail distribution.
• Turquoise Cyber-Toned Bezel Branding: The DW-5600's bezel text is rendered in electric turquoise — the signature cyber-teal colour associated with Ghost in the Shell's visual identity — while Ghost in the Shell branding appears on both the dial and the strap.
• Classic DW-5600 Digital Platform: Built on G-Shock's most iconic square platform, bringing G-Shock's full toughness DNA: shock resistance, 200-metre water resistance, resin case and band, and auto-calendar.
• White Collector's Box Packaging: Delivered in a white special collector's box featuring a prominent portrait of The Major and the official Ghost in the Shell logo.
