When it comes to iconic collaborations in the world of timepieces, few brands do it quite like G-SHOCK. Since 1995, the brand has been delivering unbeatably tough and stylish watches with their legendary 6900 series, and now they’ve partnered with the ultimate space explorers – NASA – to bring us a watch that’s truly out of this world. Enter the G-SHOCK NASA Limited Edition Watch ($170), a stellar new take on the beloved classic that’s bound to ignite the imagination of space aficionados and watch enthusiasts alike.
The G-SHOCK 6900 series has long been known for its distinctive round case, triple-graph layout, and that large, satisfying front button that made it an instant hit with G-SHOCK fans worldwide. While the design hasn’t strayed far from its original blueprint, G-SHOCK has always managed to keep things fresh with an ever-evolving palette of materials, colours, and tech upgrades – and the NASA collaboration exemplifies this approach beautifully. From the first glance, you can tell this is a watch built for someone with their head in the stars. The crisp, white NASA logo takes pride of place, replacing the usual GW6900 branding to give it a minimalist, space-age flair that’s undeniably cool against the pitch-black backdrop.
The NASA branding isn’t just limited to the dial, either. G-SHOCK has gone all-in to make this watch something special. The resin strap features a dark grey U.S. flag on the keeper, adding a subtle nod to American space exploration without overpowering the sleek aesthetic. And for the true science buffs out there, the impact equation etched on the case back is a brilliant touch – a reminder of G-SHOCK’s commitment to precision and durability, as well as a nod to the spirit of scientific discovery.
While the NASA Limited Edition certainly looks the part, its beauty is more than skin deep. Under the hood, it features a quartz movement (module 3179) regulated by radio control, meaning you get pinpoint accuracy at all times – no second-guessing here. The watch is packed with all the complications you’d expect from a G-SHOCK, including an automatic calendar, world time, multiple alarms, stopwatch, timer function, and LED lighting. It’s also water-resistant to 200 meters and solar-powered, so you’ll never need to worry about battery changes – a handy feature whether you’re taking on the final frontier or just your daily grind.
The G-SHOCK NASA Limited Edition Watch is a fitting tribute to the boundless curiosity and pioneering spirit of space exploration while staying true to G-SHOCK’s roots as the go-to choice for tough, functional, and stylish watches. For just $170, this is a piece of wearable history that celebrates both precision engineering and humanity’s eternal fascination with the great unknown. Get ready to add some interstellar style to your wrist – this watch is the ultimate way to showcase your love for adventure, resilience, and all things space.
