DW5600 Todd Jordan Model
With the goal of creating a simple watch design unaffected by fads, the Todd Jordan collaborative G-Shock model (DW-5600TOD) features a body with a unified black and silver theme. Jordan’s favorite color black is also used for the band, and the cool image was further heightened by the use of a white LCD readout on a dark background. This new watch is based on the classic DW-5600, which traces its roots back to the square form of the first G-Shock model, DW-5000. The Todd Jordan G-Shock boasts a simple design that exudes the power of pure presence.
Originally a professional skateboarder, Todd Jordan is now very well known in New York and elsewhere as a photographer. He is renowned for his style of capturing life in New York, often taking passersby as subjects for his photos.
Thanks to its shock-resistance and design, G-Shock watches gained popularity with skateboarders on the US West Coast in the early 90s, helping the brand to become a hit. This deep connection between G-Shock and extreme sports is one reason that Todd Jordan was asked to create this collaborative model.
“The DW5600 was the first G-Shock model that I owned. I remember that watch well. It still has a sentimental value to me, so it’s really nice to be able to make my own 5600,” said Todd Jordan. “I just wanted the DW5600TOD-6 to look simple. I’m simple and I like black. It’s kind of homage to the legendary skater Harold Hunter.

Casio G-Shock has collaborated with the irreverent and iconic rapper REDMAN. Similar to G-Shock, REDMAN is a classic and durable brand. Both have stood the test of time and have continued to become increasingly popular since their debut.
"G-Shock is tough and durable, but still raw to the core. I wanted a model that I could wear on my wrist with confidence", said legendary rapper REDMAN. "To me, the color red represents taking it to the maximum, just like when I hit the stage. I give my fans my all at live shows—stage dives, all the hits, and the best performance they've seen."
An unrelenting red with smooth glossy finish makes the AW591RED-4A a combination of REDMAN's intensity and classic G-Shock style. From the Ana-Digi family of G-Shock watches, the REDMAN X G-Shock features neo-brite luminous analog hands as well as digital timer and date windows.
