Galxboy makes a bold entry into luxury

Venecia Valentine

As the year draws to a close, Galxboy continues to redefine the intersection of fashion, culture and innovation with the launch of the GXB Watch Collection.

This release marks the brand’s official step into luxury timekeeping and signals a new era of elevated design and craftsmanship.

The introduction of the GXB Watch Collection represents a significant evolution for Galxboy. It expands the brand’s premium portfolio and positions Galxboy as a growing force in the luxury fashion and accessories market.

From streetwear movement to luxury design

Founded in 2008 by Thatiso Dube, Galxboy is a proudly South African streetwear brand rooted in the underground youth culture of Mzansi’s urban centres.

Built by the youth for the youth, particularly Millennials and Generation Z, the brand grew through ambition, perseverance and collaboration, becoming a cultural movement in its own right.

Galxboy’s identity is shaped by bold innovation and a 21st-century African design philosophy. The brand reflects the aspirations of a new generation that continues to redefine what it means to be intelligent, African and ambitious.

Inside the GXB Watch Collection

Meticulously crafted, the GXB 012 Type X and Y timepieces showcase Galxboy’s fusion of contemporary design and quality engineering.

Each watch is constructed from 316L stainless steel and features an 8BIT-engraved bezel, a refined butterfly buckle and an exhibition case back that reveals the mechanical movement.

The collection is powered by the Miyota 8215 automatic movement, offering reliable performance with a power reserve of more than 42 hours.

Built for everyday wear, the watches feature 50-metre water resistance and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal on both the front and the case back.

Designed for versatility and fit

The collection is available in two sizes, 38mm for men and 34mm for women, balancing versatility with timeless appeal. Additional links are included to ensure a personalised, comfortable fit.

A defining moment for the brand

“The launch of the GXB Watch Collection marks a defining moment for Galxboy,” says founder and head designer Thatiso Dube.

“As promised at the beginning of the year, we are expanding our footprint in the luxury space. These timepieces reflect our creative edge and our commitment to quality. They represent craftsmanship, culture and the next chapter of Galxboy.”

With this launch, Galxboy sets a clear direction in luxury craftsmanship, inviting customers to experience refined artistry grounded in cultural depth.
