What to know
G-SHOCK’s collaboration with BAIT gives the classic square DW-5600 a bright yellow treatment inspired by the phrase “Yamagata’s Finest.” Reference DW5600BAIT26-9 adds contrasting brown speckles across its resin case and band, while custom text and packaging connect the watch to G-SHOCK’s manufacturing base in Yamagata, Japan.
The specification stays close to the established digital 5600 formula: shock resistance, 200-metre water resistance, a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm, calendar and backlight. The resin case measures 48.9 by 42.8 by 13.4mm. Announced at the end of September with a reported U.S. price of $170, the collaboration is a visual reinterpretation rather than a mechanical change to the familiar platform.
