The Hobonichi MOTHER Project and Casio G-SHOCK have announced a collaboration watch to mark the 20th anniversary of the Game Boy Advance RPG MOTHER3. The watch is based on the DW-5600 model, finished in a vivid yellow inspired by the sunflower field from the game's Chapter 6. The dial features the MOTHER3 logo, the backlight displays a dot-art sunflower field, and the resin band is printed with multiple Mr. Saturn figures. A gold-colored protector, a first for the MOTHER G-SHOCK line, is included. The case back is engraved with the word "Potential!" in Japanese. The watch is priced at 19,800 yen (tax included). Lottery applications will be accepted from July 17 at 11:00 a.m. to July 30 at 11:00 a.m. JST at the online MOTHER's Shop. Product samples are on display at TOBICHI Tokyo from July 14 through July 29. This is the third MOTHER collaboration G-SHOCK and the first in two years.
The base model is the DW-5600, often called the "Speed Model" because Keanu Reeves wore it in the 1994 film Speed. The yellow casing also echoes rare G-SHOCK colors like those of the Speed Model and Frogman. Red accents on the dial reference the MOTHER series' key color, creating a finish that the press release compares to the historic "Jason" color scheme. The resin band shows Mr. Saturn characters playing a ladder game and bird fishing. The back cover engraving reads "Potential!" in Japanese, a phrase from the game. The watch is delivered in a special can case decorated with a sunflower field motif. It retains standard G-SHOCK toughness: shock resistance and 20 atm water resistance. The watch measures 48.9 × 42.8 × 14.8 mm (including the protector) and weighs 55 g. Battery life is approximately five years. MOTHER3 was originally released for the Game Boy Advance in 2006 and is currently available on Nintendo Switch Online.
