First Steps collectors watch set – The Luxe Review

As the countdown begins for the July 25 release of Fantastic Four: First Steps, G-Shock and Marvel Studios have partnered for a limited-edition collectors watch set, inspired by Marvel’s first family.

The partnership leans into the retro-futurist spirit of this latest iteration of the Fantastic Four. With a design language pulled from the 1960s, but engineered with G-Shock’s distinctive rugged tech, the set comprises four models: the GA-700HDS (representing The Thing), GA-110HDS (Mister Fantastic), GA-6900HDS (Human Torch), and GA-2100HDS (Invisible Woman).

Features include glow-in-the-dark sci-fi dials, icy white cases with cosmic blue accents, as well as the brand’s celebrated shock resistance, 200m water resistance, and temperature-tested toughness.

The sets are packaged in retro ’60s-style sleeves, complete with a themed collectors pin badge set and exclusive Fantastic Four artwork. Look out for campaign skits featuring Marvel’s mechanical mascot H.E.R.B.I.E. as he puts the watches through a series of over-the-top durability trials, cinematic style.

Casio G-Shock x Marvel Fantastic Four: First Steps watches are priced between £99.90 and £119, and are available through Amazon.
