This G-Shock and Mario collab is a retro watch done right

With Super Mario Bros. details everywhere, expect this limited edition Casio G-Shock to sell out fast.

There’s an undeniably cool old-school charm when it comes to Casio and G-Shock’s vintage digital watches. But add some Super Mario Bros. flavor to it and you’ve got an instant hit of nostalgia.

The G-Shock DW56000SMB-4 model is the perfect homage to everyone’s favorite plumber-turned-hero. It’s based on the DW5600 series, but sports that distinct shade of Mario red on the bezel and dial.

Infinite lives

Casio added a glass-printed green shell on the watch face. The best part of the watch comes when you hit the backlight that displays a glowing Mario on top of the green shell (a nod to the infinite 1up trick).

Casio nailed it with the details all around the watch, like the gold accents that call back to the coins you collect in-game, the case back with engraved details of Mario and a Koopa Troopa, and the 8-bit dial fonts.

G-shock guarantee

It’s still a G-Shock so you’ll get all the reliable features like shock resistance, 200-meter water resistance, a backlight with flash alert, a multi-function alarm, a 24-hour stopwatch, a 60-minute countdown timer, and 12/24 hour time formats.
