August 11, 2022
DHL Express Singapore released the G-Shock DW-5600DHL22-9DR in July 2022 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its operations in Singapore. (DHL was founded in 1969 in San Francisco and expanded into Asia in 1971.) The made-in-Japan collaboration features the shipping company’s signature yellow and red colors with DHL logos on the face, EL backlight, and engraved stainless steel case back. The tagline “On Time, Everytime” is printed on the band. The exclusive packaging resembles a DHL box and with a shipping label. The watch was reportedly made for DHL employees and was not intended for sale.

It is owned by Deutsche Post AG and is German now, but it was actually founded in San Francisco.
“Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom and Robert Lynn, three ambitious businessmen from San Francisco, founded DHL in 1969. They initially started by transporting customs documents by air. As a result, the time taken for customs to process freight shipments was dramatically reduced. The first flights tended to be between San Francisco and Honolulu but the network was later expanded to all corners of the globe. Since 2013, DHL has been the market-leader with respect to international express deliveries and logistics.” https://www.dhlexpress.be/en/our-story/
Also:
“The company DHL itself was founded in San Francisco, United States, in 1969 and expanded its service throughout the world by the late 1970s.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHL
