Lower x G-Shock DW-5600LOW-9V

New Zealand brand Lower have teamed up with Casio to drop this Lower x G-Shock DW-5600 collaboration with an interesting twist. The black DW-5600 features Lower branding to the strap and some custom caseback engraving. The main event however is the leather face protector, leather / wool case and sheep dog whistle (!) which pay homage to New Zealand's farming heritage.

For more information and pricing check the Lower website, the watch is available 2012-01-31 from selected outlets in NZ and Australia.

Thanks to G-Street for the news.

Hi,

Love the watch cover, very much like various military watches from WW2. Is there any chance of buying one these online and getting it shipped to the UK?

Regards, Rob

Nice one! Look forward to seeing the pics. Did they give an idea on retail?

Didn't ask on the basis that if I knew the price I would probably decide I couldn't afford it.

Lol, fair enough. If you do get one and can bare to let us know the damage. It's a fairly low key collab with minimal customisation to the watch itself so assume the value is in the watch protector and case.
