Key Takeaways
1. The Haser x G-Shock DW5600WW-HASER watch launched on December 9, 2025, priced at $299 NZD, with only 80 units available in-store and limited online availability later.
2. The watch features Haser’s unique graffiti art on a white case and strap, with a striking red and black design, and comes in a collectible glass-front packaging.
3. Haser, a well-known graffiti artist from New Zealand, aims for the watch to be both functional and a piece of art, rather than just a typical wrist accessory.
4. The watch retains standard G-Shock features, including shock and water resistance, a white LED backlight, and a five-year battery life, made from bio-based resin for sustainability.
5. Initial feedback from Auckland has been very positive, indicating high demand, while future online availability outside New Zealand remains unconfirmed.
The Haser x G-Shock collaboration that was teased earlier has officially launched, and it’s just as chic as many hoped. The new model, DW5600WW-HASER, can be purchased exclusively through Loaded NZ starting from December 9, 2025, with a price tag of $299 NZD (approximately $169). This release is quite limited, with only 80 units being available in-store at the time of launch, while a few will be offered online later.
Graffiti Style
As previously predicted, this watch is based on the classic DW-5600 and features Haser’s distinctive graffiti art. It showcases a completely white case and strap adorned with striking red and black designs. The packaging is particularly eye-catching, presented in a glass-front, red emergency-style display box labeled “In Case of Emergency – Break Glass.” It resembles more of a collectible street art piece rather than your typical retail item.
Haser’s Artistic Touch
Haser, one of the most prominent graffiti artists in Aotearoa, has deep roots in New Zealand’s street art community and has been active on local walls, galleries, and brand partnerships for a long time. After the launch, he expressed that he didn’t intend for this project to compete for “wrist real estate,” but rather to be a functional piece that also serves as artwork.
Standard G-Shock Specs
Beneath the artistic exterior, the watch maintains the standard specifications of the G-Shock DW-5600, including shock resistance, water resistance up to 200 meters, a white LED backlight, multi-function alarm, countdown timer, stopwatch, and a battery life of five years. The case and band are made from bio-based resin, supporting Casio’s initiative for more sustainable materials.
The initial response in Auckland has been very positive, according to social media updates and early feedback on Instagram, suggesting that demand is likely to exceed supply. The packaging also includes a Haser x G-Shock tote and print. If the recent Sfera Ebbasta collaboration hinted at Casio focusing more on artist collaborations, this release definitely makes that direction clear.
For those outside New Zealand, there hasn’t been any confirmation about online availability yet. Even locals might need to act quickly to secure one.
