Union Los Angeles and G-Shock have released the DW-5600RBG-1, a limited-edition take on Casio’s classic square watch that wraps an American flag motif in the red, black and green of the Pan-African flag.
The watch launched November 6, 2026, at Union’s online store and its shop at 110 South La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles, priced at $165. A Japanese version followed on November 7 at Union’s Tokyo and Osaka stores for ¥19,800.
A Flag With a History
The colors carry meaning. The Pan-African flag was created by Marcus Garvey and adopted by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League in 1920. Its red, black and green represent Black identity, liberation and shared ancestry.
The design also echoes the African-American Flag, the work by artist David Hammons that recast the Stars and Stripes in those colors in 1990.
The Details
The flag design covers the entire bezel and face, including red and green tints on the digital display. The band keeper is a tri-color loop in the Pan-African palette, and the LED backlight reveals Union’s Frontman logo. The watch ships in custom packaging that matches its colors.
Union was founded in 1989 in SoHo, New York, and opened its Los Angeles store in 1991. The New York shop closed in 2009, but the La Brea location remains a pillar of the city’s menswear scene.
For now, the release is limited, so readers who want one should check Union’s site and La Brea store quickly. At $165, it is one of the season’s most meaningful watch gifts for under $200.
