New Drops From G-SHOCK x Hidden & Blancpain x Swatch Pack Green Style & Streetwear Edge
If your wrist is ready for an upgrade, these two new watches have you covered. From streetwear-ready G-SHOCK vibes to a sleek green Bioceramic dive watch, they're fun, functional, and made to turn heads. G-SHOCK x Hidden 5600 Series Two years after their first collaboration, streetwear favourite Hidden NY reunites with G-SHOCK for the new DW5600HDN257. This release takes the iconic rectangular G-SHOCK silhouette and gives it a fresh twist with a frosted white resin bezel and Hidden's signature green lettering. It is clean, crisp and made for those who appreciate subtle style cues. The dial stays minimal, letting the matte black bull bars stand out while adding extra protection. On the caseback, an engraved 'In The Blink Of An Eye' motif nods to Hidden's design DNA. Turn on the LED backlight and the Hidden icon logo appears, giving a secret detail that only reveals itself in the dark. Hidden's first G-SHOCK in 2023 had a transparent off-white design that divided opinions. The new DW5600HDN257 swaps that for a sleeker white and green colourway, keeping the rare bull bars for extra durability and style. With 200 metres of water resistance, a stopwatch, timer, alarm, second time zone and a comfortable integrated strap, it is a versatile watch that combines streetwear flair with G-SHOCK toughness. The G-SHOCK x Hidden NY DW5600HDN257 is now available for US$175 (~RM765) at G-SHOCK SoHo, online and Hidden's website while stocks last. Blancpain x Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms 'Green Abyss' Just in time for summer, the Blancpain x Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms returns in a fresh new green. The 'Green Abyss' edition brings a forest-green Bioceramic case and unidirectional dive bezel paired with cream Super-LumiNova hands and markers. It's a sleek, subtle take on the playful Swatch collaboration, perfect for those who want colour without going over the top. Inside, the watch is powered by the Swatch-made SISTEM51 automatic movement, a fully mechanical engine with 90 hours of power reserve and a smooth 21,600 vibrations per hour. Measuring 42.3mm by 14.4mm, the case combines presence and wearability, while the 91-metre water resistance ensures it can handle any summer adventure with ease. The Green Abyss balances colour and seriousness, sitting between the brighter Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Ocean models. Its NATO-style strap keeps it sporty and comfortable, while the mechanical movement, summer-ready green, and approachable price make it a playful yet practical standout in the Scuba Fifty Fathoms lineup. The Blancpain x Swatch Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Green Abyss will retail for US$400 (~RM1,750) and is available now at Swatch boutiques nationwide and online while stocks last.

Releases June 7, 2025, at select Swatch stores in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Chermside, Perth Features green Bioceramic case and 90-hour automatic SISTEM51 movement Includes vintage-style lume and water contact indicator at 6 o'clock Caseback displays Felimare picta nudibranch in full-colour digital print Blancpain and Swatch have released the latest addition to their Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms collection called 'Green Abyss' (AUD$655). It will be available from June 7th, 2025, at selected Swatch stores in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Chermside, and Perth, and will be limited to one per person, per store, per day. The 42.3mm diameter SISTEM51 automatic-powered follow-up to the game-changing OMEGA x Swatch 'MoonSwatch', the Swatch Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms has always sat in the shadows of the Speedmaster takedown. However, this new 'Green Abyss' colourway looks to revitalise the line-up with a deep green Bioceramic case, bezel, and crown, complemented by a black with a dark green hue and deep black resin bezel insert. What gets us excited is the dive-centric Super-LumiNova elements on the hands, hour markers, and 60-minute markers that glow in a vintage radium tone. Like models that came before it, the 'Green Abyss' Blancpain x Swatch Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms features a full-colour digital illustration of the Felimare picta (Regal Sea Goddess) nudibranch (soft-bodied marine gastropod molluscs) with its seaweed colours.

They chose to swap out the date for a bi-colour water contact indicator at 6 o'clock (detects moisture), again with the 'Green Abyss' model here to reference vintage MIL-SPEC diving watches. They've also chosen to swap out the single-pass NATO strap for a two-piece fabric strap they're calling 'NATO Style.' This carries over from the Pink Ocean and Blue Lagoon releases and is a point of difference to the 'Antarctic Ocean' model, in which it shares many of the same features. Ultimately, while it's hardly a 'NATO,' the two-piece fabric strap does make it more wearable and easier to put on your wrist.

The Blancpain x Swatch Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms 'Green Abyss' is still powered by a Swatch SISTEM51 automatic movement with 90 hours of power reserve, and this is encased in Bioceramic with a water resistance down to 50 fathoms / 91 m / 300 ft / 9 bar and a Bioceramic crystal. Flip the watch over and you'll get a good look at this movement and the full-colour digital illustration of the Felimare picta nudibranch, which is a soft-bodied marine gastropod mollusc. The Latin name translates to 'Regal Sea Goddess,' which is much cooler if you ask me. Look for the Blancpain x Swatch Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms 'Green Abyss' to release at Swatch stores in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Chermside, and Perth from June 7th, 2025.
