“G-Shock is pleased to collaborate with such a recognized artist as Mister Cartoon,” said Shigenori Itoh, Vice President of Casio’s Timepiece Division. “With the release of the DW6900MRC-8, we are offering a unique fusion of timekeeping technology with an aesthetic appeal to street culture.”

This collaboration with the LA native is true to Los Angeles culture, the watch utilizes a Dodger blue and grey and a case back engraved with Cartoon’s epic styling.

Earlier this year G-Shock unveiled a “first look” at the collaboration watch with the world famous tattoo artist, car customizer, illustrator and designer at the Shock the World Tour 2009 event in NYC. Now, G-Shock is bringing the launch of this watch back to the stomping grounds of its inspiration – Los Angeles.
