Legend Born 1983: The Ultimate Watch Collector's Merch Collection
71+ products featuring our iconic G-Shock tribute design. Because every watch enthusiast needs to wear their passion.
Every watch collector knows the feeling. You're browsing online, minding your own business, when suddenly—there it is. Another watch that would be perfect for your collection. Your brain tries to rationalize: "I already have a dive watch." But your heart knows the truth: you need another watch.
That's the spirit behind our Legend Born 1983 design—a bold, witty tribute to the original G-Shock DW-5000C that launched in 1983 and changed wristwatches forever. This isn't just merch; it's a badge of honor for anyone who's ever justified "just one more" timepiece to their significant other.
Now available on 71+ products through our Redbubble shop, the Legend Born 1983 design lets you wear your horological obsession with pride—whether you're at a watch meetup, browsing vintage Seikos on eBay, or explaining to your spouse why you absolutely need that limited edition Speedmaster.
The Story Behind the Design
In 1983, Casio engineer Kikuo Ibe had a mission: create a watch that would never break. After two years and over 200 prototypes, the G-Shock DW-5000C was born. It could survive a 10-meter drop, withstand 10 bar of water pressure, and had a 10-year battery life. The watch world would never be the same.
Our Legend Born 1983 design pays homage to that revolutionary moment. The minimalist digital display, the iconic square case, the bold typography—it's all there, distilled into a clean, vintage-inspired graphic that captures the essence of what made the original G-Shock a legend.
But here's the twist: we added a touch of self-aware humor that every watch collector will recognize. Because let's be honest—whether you're into G-Shocks, Seikos, Omegas, or Rolexes, we all share the same beautiful affliction: we always need another watch.
