Rui Hachimura Returns: The 5th G-SHOCK Signature Model

G-SHOCK has once again joined forces with basketball star Rui Hachimura to deliver the fifth instalment in a powerful partnership that has spanned some of the brand’s most iconic releases. The new GM5600RH-1D series brings Hachimura’s distinctive style to the classic square-faced 5600 design, pairing toughness with cultural identity in a watch that speaks to heritage and individuality.

This is not just another release — it’s the latest chapter in a story that began years ago, when Rui first partnered with G-SHOCK to create signature watches that reflected his journey and identity. Across the collection, he has chosen to reinterpret some of the most recognisable silhouettes in G-SHOCK history: from the bold 100 and 110 to the street-ready 6900, the versatile 2100, and now, finally, the origin of toughness itself — the 5600. Each collaboration has been an exploration of form and function, bringing fresh perspective to these legendary shapes while staying true to G-SHOCK’s unbreakable spirit.

The GM5600RH-1D retains the instantly recognisable DNA of the 5600 but with an elevated edge. The stainless steel bezel is finished in a sleek gunmetal grey, contrasted with bold red and yellow accents that draw on Hachimura’s heritage. The band design is inspired by African Kente cloth, a nod to his roots, while the Rui “Black Samurai” logo is engraved on the case back, adding a personal signature to the design. Inside, the watch is everything G-SHOCK stands for: shock resistance, 200-metre water resistance, and multifunctional digital display. It’s built to take the hits on and off the court while looking sharp in any setting.

As the first Japanese-born player ever drafted in the first round of the NBA, Rui Hachimura represents a unique blend of cultures and experiences. His signature models with G-SHOCK aren’t just collaborations — they’re statements of toughness, individuality, and global perspective. The GM5600RH-1D continues that story, reminding fans that true strength comes from embracing where you come from and where you’re headed.

The GM5600RH-1D is available now in Australia in limited quantities. For long-time fans of the collaboration, this is a collector’s piece that bridges basketball, design, and cultural storytelling in one powerful form.
