When the blue-green EL backlight is turned on, the Laminar logo appears. The color of the dial is unified in dark monotone.
Focusing on outerwear, the Italian luxury brand HERNO, which boasts stable popularity Japan, will release a limited edition bespoke model “HERNO Laminar G-SHOCK” to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the opening of its flagship store Herno Aoyama.
It was based on the DW-5600, which inherited the form of the first generation. It was worn by actor Keanu Reeves in the movie “Speed” (1994) and became famous. The movie is truly a “time-sensitive” action, and the clock was highlighted many times in the play, making it a big break in the market. It is still popular among the many lineups.
The base color of the bespoke model is black, and the strap has a triangular lattice line inspired by the Inuit snow house “igloo”. The brand logo is placed underneath the gray dial, case back and strap. When the backlight is illuminated, the letters Laminar appear. Laminar is a collection that aims to achieve both functionality and design, such as using Gore-Tex. The special yet subtle use of the design is a finish typical of Herno. The products are also housed in a special box and can with an igloo motif, emphasizing that it is a special collection.
The G-SHOCK is a highly popular watch not only in Japan but also around the world. Since it will be released in a limited edition Japan this time, it is sure to be a kite not only among Japan people but also among tourists from overseas. After all, rumor has it that the person who wants this watch the most right now is an employee of Helno in Italy.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary DW-5600, but if you look closely, it is studded with special designs. In addition to special boxes and cans, a special shopper is included, making it ideal for gifts.
