July 2021, SINGAPOREG-SHOCK Singapore has launched this year's National Day Watch designed by local artist Tobyato, otherwise known as Toby.


Coming in a sporty red colour, the theme of the National Day watch design is meant to reflect the toughness and resilience of Singapore, a place that has allowed the dreams of the watch designer and that of many others to come true.


"Singapore is more than just a home to me," said Toby. "As an artist, Singapore is the place that allowed me to pursue my passions."

"Singapore is the place that enabled me to chase my dreams, to tough it out and become the creative I am today. And I will always be grateful for this place I call home."


In terms of its design, the base model is AW-500BB-4EDR, a revival of the first analog G-SHOCK AW-500.


On the red strap of the watch is a powerful white lion which Toby has designed, with his trademark logo beneath it.

He said: "For this year's National Day watch, I used the colours red and white to create a design that shows my gratitude to this tough, small resilient island home."


The watch comes with a limited edition specially designed box with the lion design. From 1 August 2021, there will be a special installation at G-SHOCK Marina Bay Sands Premium of this watch at the store to showcase more about the collaboration with Tobyato.


Selling at S$219, the AW-500BB-4EDR National Day watch will be available at https://gshock.casio.com/sg/ from 27 July 2021 for CASIO ID Members, and available to public from 1 August 2021 both online and in all G-SHOCK stores.
