The highly anticipated collaboration between Casio's legendary toughness and Toyo Tires' performance heritage finally gets a wide release
Casio has officially expanded the availability of its new special-edition DW-5600, created in collaboration with Japanese high-performance tire manufacturer Toyo Tires. Dubbed the G-Shock DW5600TT25-1, the motorsport-inspired timepiece is now available for purchase directly through Casio’s U.S. online store for $150.
Previously, the watch was exclusively available through BAIT's Diamond Bar store in California and its dedicated online launch site. But the broader release means collectors and automotive enthusiasts can get their hands on the collaborative square G-Shock without having to navigate limited boutique drops.
A Design Born on the Track
For the uninitiated, the DW5600TT25-1 takes design cues from Toyo's extreme-performance summer tire, the Proxes Sport R, pairing a high-contrast white dial with a black resin case and band, which are decorated with intricate tire tread graphics. The result is a timepiece that looks equally at home at a track day as it does in a collector's display case.
The resin band prominently features Toyo Tires and Proxes logos printed in white, complemented by stylized "R" graphics near the lower edge, while the dial and bezel are imprinted with Toyo Tires, Casio, and G-Shock branding. On the case back, you will find these same details engraved into a design mimicking a tire sidewall—a thoughtful touch that underscores the collaborative spirit behind this release.
Meanwhile, activating the LED backlight reveals a hidden blue Proxes "R" logo on the display, adding an element of surprise that G-Shock fans have come to appreciate in special editions.
The Partnership Behind the Watch
The collaboration between Casio and Toyo Tires brings together two Japanese brands known for their commitment to durability, innovation, and performance. Toyo Tires has been a staple in motorsports for decades, supplying tires for everything from drifting competitions to endurance racing. The Proxes Sport R, which inspired this watch's design, represents the pinnacle of Toyo's street-legal track tire technology.
"Both Casio and Toyo Tires share a philosophy of pushing boundaries and delivering products that perform under extreme conditions," a Casio spokesperson noted. "This collaboration celebrates that shared heritage while giving fans a unique collectible that captures the spirit of motorsport."
