DW-5900-1
This historical favorite model revived for the modern day was based on the theme of "back to basics" to commemorate the 35th anniversary of G-SHOCK in 2018. A basic digital model from the early days of G-SHOCK equipped with three new digital graphics not found in the conventional LCD models, the DW-5900C was first released outside Japan and gained worldwide popularity, before breaking into Japan via reimporting. The original design has been faithfully reproduced, right down to the color of the text on the dial. Furthermore, in addition to the basic stopwatch and timer features, it also has practical functions such as an EL backlight. It is a revival model of the long-selling DW-6900 series that used three digital graphics.
DW-5900-1DR - 2018 marks 35 years since G-SHOCK first revolutionized timekeeping with its innovative toughness back in 1983. To mark the occasion, CASIO is releasing the DW-5900, bringing the look of a historical favorite back to life under a backto-original-basics theme. The design and face colors of the original models have been reproduced for this new version.
Basic features include stopwatch and timer, along with an EL backlight and more.
