Casio Announces Second G‑SHOCK Collaboration with XG
Casio Computer Co., Ltd. issued a press release on 12 November 2026 from Tokyo announcing the launch of the GM‑6900XG, the second G‑SHOCK shock‑resistant timepiece created in partnership with the seven‑member artist collective XG. The group, comprising JURIN, CHISA, HINATA, HARVEY, JURIA, MAYA and COCONA, was appointed as the global ambassador for G‑SHOCK in July 2025 and has pioneered the X‑POP musical genre.
The GM‑6900XG is built on the classic 6900 series triple‑graph dial and incorporates a silvery metal bezel paired with a translucent strap. The strap bears the full name “Xtraordinary Genes” rendered in a stylised graphic that resembles a tattoo, reflecting the collective’s limitless, boundary‑defying ethos. The front‑side button is marked with an “X”; when activated, the back‑light projects a silhouette of a howling wolf, symbolising XG’s fan community ALPHAZ. The case back is engraved with the Japanese character 緒, a term the members use during their pre‑show huddle to denote strong bonds.
The watch is presented in special packaging that features a graphic of seven wolves at the bottom, each representing one XG member. Additional promotional material includes an interview video (https://youtu.be/vTL_9BoevZk) and a dedicated microsite (https://gshock.casio.com/intl/contents/ambassador/xg/g-shock-xg-collab-vol2/).
The release notes that the collaboration aligns the “TIME, INKED ON YOU” creative concept with both XG’s artistic vision and G‑SHOCK’s reputation for durability and distinctive design.
