About that Bamford G-SHOCK 5610 that Sold Out in 3 Minutes
What I caught was the Bamford G-SHOCK 5610, a very cool thing indeed, even on first sight. Based on the original indestructible rectangular digital readout watch, the Bamford 5610 boasts a “Multi Band 6 Radio Controlled technology” that ensures that the timekeeping is a s sharp as the watch’s Bamford facelift.
The Bamford G-SHOCK 5610 is finished in the familiar livery of Bamford — black and Bamford aqua blue, with the BAMFORD moniker proudly stamped on the strap and a blue inner bezel section. The collaboration is also stated on the strap keeper.
“I love these watches for what they are — a cool, nostalgic and utterly wearable watch. Wherever you are, or whatever you are doing, you strap this on and it will be reliable and do what you need it to do”.
“Keeping this in mind, the other thing I’ve always loved are Art Deco mantle clocks — they give me a similar nostalgic feeling as G-SHOCKs. I thought it would be fun to try and reference that in the packaging and I believe we succeeded. But honestly, no need to get too far into details, for me this watch just simply rocks!”
The only problem facing George now is acquiring them for friends and family! George shares, “I knew people would love this watch and I always trust my gut instinct. I didn’t, however, expect it to be such a smash hit.” And with that he rushed off to try and find some more watches that were promised to his mates. Godspeed, George!
