Casio has introduced a new variant of its iconic DW5600 G-Shock series in the US, created in partnership with Japanese tire manufacturer Toyo Tires.
Priced at $150, the DW5600TT25-1 incorporates automotive-inspired design elements into the classic digital watch.

Design and Features
The collaboration focuses on cosmetic changes rather than hardware modifications.
The watch retains a standard black resin case and band, but the strap features a subtle texture mimicking the tread pattern of Toyo's Proxes Sport R summer tire.
The white dial displays high-contrast black digital numerals, along with the Toyo Tires logo and signature blue accents.
Pressing the LED backlight button reveals a custom Proxes "R" logo on the screen.

The watch comes in special packaging: a blue presentation box and a metal tin decorated with wheel graphics.
Underneath the co-branding, the watch is identical to the standard DW5600.
It measures 48.9 by 42.8 by 13.4 mm and weighs 52 grams, making it a moderately sized G-Shock.
The case and bezel use a mix of standard and bio-based resins, while mineral glass protects the display.

It maintains shock-resistant construction and 200 meters of water resistance.
Features include a 1/100-second stopwatch, 24-hour countdown timer, multi-function alarm, and fully automatic calendar.
A flash alert system synchronizes the white LED backlight with alarms and timer notifications, causing the light to blink.
The watch is powered by a CR2016 battery, estimated to last about five years.
