To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the RPG 'MOTHER3'*, the Hobonichi MOTHER Project and Casio G-SHOCK have realized their collaboration for the first time in two years.
The model is based on the 5600 series, the most traditional in the G-SHOCK lineup. The color is a vivid yellow, reminiscent of the unforgettable sunflower fields that appear in Chapter 6 of 'MOTHER3'. The dial features the 'MOTHER3' logo, while the backlight—illuminating the time in the dark—displays a pixel-art rendition of the sunflower field. The resin band is adorned with numerous 'Doseisan' characters, making this a highly appealing product. Applications for the lottery sale will be accepted online at 'MOTHER no Omise' from 11:00 AM JST on Friday, July 17, 2026, to 11:00 AM JST on Thursday, July 30, 2026.

[Product Details]
The chosen G-SHOCK base model is the classic 5600 series, known for its square face. It gained the nickname 'Speed Model' after being worn by Keanu Reeves in the 1994 film 'Speed'.
The vibrant yellow color not only represents the iconic sunflower fields from Chapter 6 of 'MOTHER3' but is also a memorable rare color among G-SHOCK fans, previously seen on models like the Speed Model and the Frogman.
The dial is printed with the 'MOTHER3' logo. By using red—the key color of the 'MOTHER' series—as an accent, the design evokes the legendary 'Jason' color scheme in G-SHOCK history.
Numerous 'MOTHER'-themed touches are incorporated throughout. The backlight features a pixel-art depiction of the sunflower field, illuminating the time in the dark. The resin band is decorated with many Doseisan characters playing 'ladder tag' and 'bird balancing'. Additionally, the case back is engraved with the word 'POTENSHARU!', which somehow gives the reader courage when read.
This collaboration introduces a new feature: a protector. Though simply structured, it protects the crystal and case from scratches. The gold-colored protector adds high design value and emphasizes the product's originality. Despite its pop and cute design, the watch retains G-SHOCK's hallmark toughness, including shock resistance and 20-bar water resistance. It will be delivered in a special tin case featuring the sunflower field.
