A unique style. Y's, the first brand created by Yohji Yamamoto in 1972, embodies Yamamoto's thoughts and philosophy on clothing creation. Always moving forward, it expresses its identity based on an unchanging philosophy. Through its creations, Y's looks back on its 50-year history and strives to create even more.

The meeting of G-SHOCK, which continues to evolve in pursuit of toughness, and Y's, which makes functional and elegant everyday clothing.

Creating "time" - G-SHOCK and Y's. Standing there, capturing time, creating things. Both are rooted in the streets and people's lives, and continue to mark the "time" they each created.

Y's x G-SHOCK comes with an original cross band that can be changed to suit your mood or style. The G-SHOCK model "GM-S5600YS-1" is based on the GM-S5600, a smaller version of G-SHOCK's iconic square model with a metal bezel. The cross band features a cover to protect the watch face, emphasizing functionality. Simply remove the cover, thread it through the buckle, fold it over, and fasten it with Velcro. A woven label featuring the model number and functions as graphic elements, similar to those found on Y's clothing, is sewn onto the top of the band, ensuring durability and comfort.


The all-black body, characteristic of Y's, is accentuated by polished metal parts for a sophisticated look. The buckle and case are meticulously polished to a honed finish, the bezel top to a hairline finish, and the side buttons to a mirror finish. The Y's logo appears on the dial and case back.




Everything from the watch to the packaging is expressed in black, in keeping with the world of Y's. The included drawstring bag, which can also be used to store the watch when removed, is a special feature exclusive to Y's x G-SHOCK.

Y's
Y's was the first brand created by Yohji Yamamoto in 1972, and it also represents Yamamoto's thoughts and philosophy on clothing design. Its origins lie in the concept of women wearing men's clothing, and the creation of clothing for independent women with timeless values. Functional and elegant everyday wear. Within its own unique category, Y's creations are shaped by timeless values and unique patternmaking. The clothing is crafted with a focus on cutting and silhouette, utilizing the texture of the material, and emphasizing the atmosphere, volume, and balance between the wearer's body and the clothing. The current atelier team, who have inherited this philosophy, embody the brand's identity and a collection that offers functional, high-quality ready-to-wear.
