Hold onto your seats, art and watch lovers. In a collision of urban culture and high art, No Identity has teamed up with Open Dialogue to drop a collaboration that redefines what a watch can be. This isn't a subtle redesign; it's a full-blown artistic intervention on the legendary Casio G-Shock DW-5600.
The vision comes from none other than acclaimed watch artist Labeg, who has taken the indestructible classic and transformed it into a raw, unfiltered canvas. Forget what you know about watches—this is wearable art, straight from the studio.
Labeg’s signature style is instantly recognizable. He masterfully manipulates materials to create textures that tell a story. For this exclusive piece, he has reimagined the G-Shock’s surface to look as though it has been painted in his iconic style, then ripped open to reveal the raw, corrugated texture of cardboard underneath.
This breathtaking effect is more than just a visual trick; it’s a statement. It’s about revealing the layers beneath the surface—the raw energy, the unfinished ideas, the beautiful grit that lies under a polished facade. It challenges conventions and celebrates a truly unique form of artistic expression.
While the top layer is pure artistry, the foundation is pure G-Shock. The DW-5600 is a legend for a reason, renowned for its:
Almost Indestructible Build: Shock-resistant, water-resistant, and built to survive anything life throws at it.
Iconic Silhouette: The classic square case is instantly recognizable, making it the perfect canvas for such a radical transformation.
Everyday Reliability: With features like a multi-function alarm, stopwatch, and backlight, it’s as functional as it is artistic.
This collaboration gives you the best of both worlds: the unmatched durability and functionality of a G-Shock, fused with the boundary-pushing vision of a contemporary artist.
The No Identity x Open Dialogue G-Shock is for those who wear their personality on their wrist. It’s for the collector, the rebel, the art enthusiast who isn’t afraid to make a bold statement. This piece doesn’t just tell time; it speaks volumes about individuality, creativity, and the courage to reveal your authentic self.
