Last month, Casio released two new additions to the G-SHOCK line of shock-resistant watches in collaboration with two popular Japanese TV anime series, Dragon Ball Z and ONE PIECE. Both watches – the GA-110JDB collaboration model with Dragon Ball Z, and the GA-110JOP in collaboration with ONE PIECE – are developed based on the GA-110 which features a big watch case with a 3D presence.
G-Shock x Dragon Ball Z – GA-110JDB Model
The new GA-110JDB expresses the worldview of Dragon Ball Z using bold color and design. The orange body and watch bands are covered in Dragon Ball illustrations and graphic elements, including scenes of training and growth for the main character, Son Goku. The dial and logo are enhanced with a gold accents, for a strong impact. The inset dial in the 9 o’clock position displays a four-star ball motif. This ball is one of the seven dragon balls, and is the one most closely associated with Son Goku. In the 3 o’clock position, there is a “Z” motif.

The new GA-110JOP also sports a big watch case, using black as the base color, the entire watch is emblazoned with dynamic illustrations of the main character, Monkey D. Luffy. The indicator of the inset dial in the 9 o’clock position features Luffy’s straw hat as a design motif, while the word, “WANTED” is found in the 3 o’clock position. Also, when the hour and minute hands point to the 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock positions respectively, they combine visually with the two diagonal lines on the dial to form a golden “X”. This represents the X-shaped scar on Luffy’s chest, and also expresses the ONE PIECE love of adventure and treasure hunting in the smallest of details.
