• Casio unveils limited-edition G-SHOCK watches inspired by Stranger Things Season 5.
• Two models explore parallel worlds through design, symbolism, and storytelling.
• Iconic characters and eerie details shape every element of the collection.
• Collectible packaging and classic durability complete the fan-first experience.
Pop culture and watchmaking collide once again as Casio and G-SHOCK return with a second collaboration inspired by Netflix’s global phenomenon, Stranger Things. Timed with the arrival of Season 5, the final chapter of the series, the new limited-edition watches turn the show’s parallel worlds into wearable design stories that feel bold, nostalgic, and unmistakably G-SHOCK.
This special release introduces two models, the DW-5600STT-1 and the AQ-800EST-1A, each drawing from the eerie mythology of the Upside Down. Designed for fans who appreciate detail as much as durability, the collection blends storytelling with technical performance, proving that fandom can live comfortably on the wrist.
The DW-5600STT-1 builds on the classic square G-SHOCK silhouette, layering in visual cues straight from the series. Twisting vine motifs linked to Vecna wrap across the dial, while a red LED backlight glows with the same intensity seen throughout the show. A reversed letter detail on the backlight text subtly hints at the alternate dimension, while the band loop features “011,” a clear tribute to Eleven. Even the packaging leans into the narrative, decorated with Demogorgon and vine graphics that make the unboxing feel like part of the story.
For those drawn to a more retro aesthetic, the AQ-800EST-1A offers an analog-digital design with supernatural flair. Raised metallic hour markers appear in the Stranger Things font, adding texture and depth to the dial. Vine details continue the Upside Down theme, while the case back carries the Stranger Things logo. An engraved “001” on the clasp cover nods to Vecna, tying the character-driven storytelling together in subtle but deliberate ways.
Beyond the visuals, both watches stay true to G-SHOCK’s reputation for reliability. The DW-5600STT-1 delivers shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, stopwatch, timer, alarms, flash alerts, and LED backlight with afterglow. The AQ-800EST-1A offers water resistance, a 1/100-second stopwatch, daily alarm, hourly signal, and classic durability suited for everyday wear.
Available now in selected G-SHOCK stores and exclusive dealers, this collaboration captures the energy of Stranger Things while remaining grounded in Casio’s commitment to performance. For collectors, fans, and pop culture enthusiasts alike, these watches mark the final season with style, substance, and serious nostalgia!
