Exploring the one-and-only, MY G-SHOCK.Case02 Rinmu Nakamura, BMX rider

MY G-SHOCK" is a new service that allows users to create a "G-SHOCK" in the color of their choice. Based on the famous "DWE-5610" model, users can create their own one-of-a-kind watch by combining their favorite colors for the dial, bezel, belt, belt loop, and buckle. The total number of combinations is said to be as many as 1.9 million. This time, the "MY G-SHOCK" challenge will be taken on by Nakamura Rinmu, whose BMX freestyle performance at an international sports festival is still fresh in the mind. The item created by Nakamura, who bears the Japanese flag on his back and takes on the challenge of competing against the world, is a one-of-a-kind coloring that only Nakamura could have created, which shows his enthusiasm and spirit.

I am surprised at myself for making a good watch (laughs).

While talking about this, the color of the belt finally seems to have been decided. Next, we choose a bezel to match the dial, which we had originally decided to be completely black.

Clear seems to be a good match. I was interested in this from the beginning. Purple is an austere, subdued color, so combining it with clear gives a fresh overall impression. Yes, it looks good."

The dial and bezel were decided without hesitation. As Nakamura says, the finish is austere yet refreshing. The next choice is the belt loop. Nakamura takes one of the three belt loops in his hand, saying, "I want this part to have a meaning as well.

It seems like a good idea to incorporate Japan colors here. Isn't it nice and casual? The buckle could be silver to match the clear bezel, but black to tighten it up is not bad either. Okay, let's go with black."

This is why we easily decided on these parts as well. While incorporating the colors of his hometown, Kyoto, Nakamura has created a bike that is uniquely his own, and that also represents the spirit of Japan. While he chose a coloring that is associated with his hometown, the overall color scheme has a streetwise feel with a hint of mischievousness.

I'm surprised at myself that I was able to make such a nice watch. I think I can use this watch on a daily basis, and I think it will become one of my favorites.
