To celebrate CASIO's 50th anniversary in the watch industry, the brand has launched the DW-5000R, a revival of the original 1983 G-SHOCK, with an approach that balances retro charm and modern functionality. Paying homage to its origins, CASIO has carefully re-created design details like the “Made in Japan” inscription and brick-patterned dial—a new addition that underscores G-SHOCK’s Japanese heritage. Produced at CASIO’s prestigious Yamagata factory, the DW-5000R also incorporates updates to meet modern standards, such as LED lighting and a more durable shock-resistant structure.
Beyond this release, CASIO introduced the ICONIC STYLES lineup, which includes models like the DW-5600RL and DW-6900RL, featuring classic color schemes that echo G-SHOCK’s iconic red and yellow accents. While the DW-5000R captures the nostalgic look of the original model, modern improvements make it reliable by today’s standards. It joins the regular lineup as a “modern version of the original”—a piece that encapsulates CASIO's legacy and celebrates the G-SHOCK's pioneering place in watch history. With both heritage and innovation at its core, the DW-5000R offers fans a chance to experience G-SHOCK’s evolution in a new light.
