G-SHOCK GW-B5600CD Charles Darwin Foundation Collab | December 2023

Charles Darwin Foundation partnership model, inspired by creatures that live in the Galápagos Islands

Presenting a partnership model designed with the Charles Darwin Foundation, an organisation that researches biological evolution and diversity in the Galápagos Islands. With themes inspired by creatures that live in the Galápagos Islands — the hammerhead shark, the giant tortoise, and Darwin’s finch — the watch design incorporates the silhouettes of wild creatures and the rich natural environments where they live.

The Charles Darwin Foundation is an international nonprofit organisation that operates the Charles Darwin Research Station. It is the first international organisation to engage in conservation activities in the Galápagos Islands, starting in 1959. Currently, it has over 100 staff members from all over the world involved in a range of activities, including surveying the Galápagos Islands’ marine and terrestrial life and ecosystems, promoting island nature conservation efforts, and providing environmental education to local residents.

Hammerhead shark

GW-B5600CD-1A2

The unique appearance of the hammerhead shark, with its head that protrudes laterally in a “T” shape, appears in silhouette form. A sea-inspired, all-over pattern decorates the face, and the band loop features a die-cut hammerhead shark motif. A silhouette of the shark also appears on the LCD when the backlight is illuminated.

Special features to commemorate a special collaboration

The Charles Darwin Foundation logo is engraved on the case back, and the statement “Apoyo la conservación de Galápagos.” (Spanish for “I support Galápagos conservation.”) is printed on the band. The watch comes complete with special, plastic-free packaging.

Attention to materials: Bio-based resin

The case and band are made with bio-based resins. Produced using renewable organic resources, this material is expected to help reduce environmental impact.
