Update (New Lovers Collection and more diamond models): Casio announced a third Lovers Collection, LOV-18C (right), for a 22 November 2018 Japan release with a list price of ¥47,000 JPY. These models with diamond accents on the dial appear to be the same as the G-Shock GA-135DD-1A and Baby-G BA-135DD-1A that were announced for Asia and available separately. The LOV-18C Lovers Collection pair must be purchased together as one set and includes special packaging.

These watches are available separately for ¥52,000 JPY and ¥35,000 JPY respectively and will be released on 22 November 2018 in Japan.
The white G-Shock GA-110DDR and Baby-G BA-110DDR (middle) with diamond accents were announced for a 7 December 2018 Japan release and will be available separately for ¥24,000 JPY each. The GA-110DDR-7A and Baby-G BA-110DDR-7A are also listed in the Baby-G Asia catalog.
The diamonds on these four models are genuine natural diamonds.
Original Post (First Two Lovers Collections): Casio has revealed the G Presents Lovers Collection 2018 which includes two pairs of matching G-Shock and Baby-G watches due in November. These annual winter limited edition watches have a Greek mythology motif with the theme of “Love is tough” and include case backs engraved with the traditional “angel and devil” motif. The collections include the white analog-digital LOV-18A-7AJR set and the pink digital LOV-18B-4JR set.
The LOV-18A-7AJR and LOV-18B-4JR sets have a list price of ¥33,000 JPY and ¥25,000 JPY respectively and include custom limited edition packaging. The watches can only be purchased in the paired sets and not individually.
LOV-18A-7A G Presents Lovers Collection 2018
The LOV-18A-7A set includes a white G-Shock AW-591 and Baby-G BGA-150 with the metallic parts treated with a gold IP. The Greek motifs can be spotted at the 7 o’clock position in the form of a feather and butterfly respectively.
LOV-18B-4 G Presents Lovers Collection 2018
The LOV-18B-4 set includes a pink G-Shock DW-D5600 and Baby-G BGD-560 with what appears to be a metallic mirror rose gold border around the display. The feather and butterfly motif is visible when the EL backlights are activated.
LOV-18C-1A G Presents Lovers Collection 2018
This pair has diamonds placed around the dial at the 12, 3, 7, and 9 o’clock positions. The diamond at the 7 o’clock position is placed in a gold IP setting. These models have a unique G-Shock and Baby-G case back with the 3-and-5-stars anniversary graphic. The LOV-18C-1AJR set has a list price of ¥47,000 JPY. These models are also available separately as the G-Shock GA-135DD-1A and Baby-G BA-135DD-1A in other Asian countries.
Precious Heart Selection 2018
The G-Shock G-STEEL GST-W310BDD-1AJF and Baby-G G-MS MSG-W200BDD-1AJF are Tough Solar/Multi-Band 6 models with black IP bodies and bezels, resin bands, rose gold markers and hands, and natural diamonds placed at the 12, 3, and 9 o’clock positions. These models also have multi-faceted glass with angled edges near the outer section of the display, which can be seen if you look closely at the photos.
