Custom For Mountain

Lines drawn on MY G-SHOCK spun by Osamu Nagaba. A custom watch that I want to take with me to the mountains.

You can create your own "G-SHOCK" to your liking.MY G-SHOCKFrom the "K" line, a new collaboration model with an artist is now available. The chosen partner is Yu Nagaba, who transforms universal motifs into various expressions with his unique lines. His artwork on the theme of "mountains" is printed on three colorful parts (green, white, and skeleton), which can be freely combined. We interviewed Mr. Nagaba about the secret story behind the creation of this collaboration, and asked him to actually combine the parts of the collaborative model. What kind of watch will be created?

Since we have three colors, you can use all of them to make your own original.

. Mr. Nagaba tells us the secret story behind the creation of this collaborative model. . Let's have him experience "MY G-SHOCK" for himself.

I have made sneakers with this kind of customization service before, but there were so many color options that I almost gave up halfway through the project (laughs). (Laughs) But this time, there are only three colors, so it may be easier to decide than I thought.

While talking about this, Mr. Nagaba first picked up the dial. The green dial is combined with a skeleton bezel.

. let's start with the star of the show. . Somehow, I'm in the mood for a green dial. I like the calmness of it. I tried this with a skeleton, and it looked good, so I think I'll choose a belt based on this combination.

The belt can be a different color on the top and bottom. Furthermore, the belt loops can also be selected from three different colors.

. "Maybe I could have just the dial in green, and everything else would be skeleton. Hmmm...but that would be a little short."

With that said, we will try a combination of green and white as well as skeleton.

He said, "I think the upper belt should be clear and the lower one green, it gives a balanced mix of the two colors, and the green on the lower side hides my skin when I look at my arm myself. . It's kind of embarrassing to see your own skin showing through (laughs). . But on the upper side, it's hard to see from myself, so I thought it would be nice to have that element as a bit of fun. Finally, if I choose white for the belt loops, I will have used all three colors."

So, the combination seemed to have been decided easily. When we asked Mr. Nagaba how he felt about the "MY G-SHOCK" experience, he replied, "It was a great experience.

. surprisingly, it was a very quick decision. There were only a few choices, so I didn't have to hesitate. It's easier than a regular "MY G-SHOCK," so I recommend this one (laughs). (Laughs.) And it was fun to choose. It's a great feeling when you think about this and that and actually try them out and find a good combination.

He also gave us some advice on the combination for those who are going to try "MY G-SHOCK" with this collaborative model.

Since there are three colors available, I think it would be a good idea to use all of them to create your own original item. With this kind of customization service, there are often too many choices and you end up with a single-color item, but this time there are only three colors, so I think you can think of combinations without worrying about it. As I mentioned earlier, I chose green, white, and skeleton, which are colors that don't clutter things up, so I think any combination will definitely be cohesive.

This model is a collaboration with Mr. Nagba on the theme of "mountains. The artwork depicting animals, bonfires, hiking men and women, and other scenes with Mr. Nagba's unique touch will make you want to go somewhere in nature.

Of course, I want people to use this watch in their daily lives, but since it is a mountain-themed watch, I would like to go hiking or mountain climbing with it on. I would love to go hiking and mountain climbing with it on. . I'd be happy to see deer again. I don't want to see any more wild boars, though (laughs).
