Recently announced by Casio Computer Co., Ltd. the release of the latest addition to the line of shock-resistant G-SHOCK watches to mark the 40th anniversary of the G-SHOCK brand. The four REMASTER BLACK watches have a band printed with the model names of past milestone G-SHOCK models, whose innovations created the evolution of the eternal pursuit of toughness.
These 40th anniversary shock-resistant REMASTER BLACK timepieces feature a band printed with the names and launch years of previous G-SHOCK milestone models. From over 4,200 models launched over the past 40 years, Casio has selected 49 G-SHOCK models to represent the latest developments in structure, function, materials, and design provided by the brand. over time. These model names are printed on the REMASTER BLACK band through a hot-stamping process that impresses the lettering on the band for a textural, indented effect. The overall design is in G-SHOCK brand black with accented gold colored stainless steel band loop.
These latest timepieces are based on four perennially popular models: the DW-5600, which inherits the original iconic G-SHOCK shape; the DW-6600, the first G-SHOCK with a backlight; the analog-digital combination GA-110; and the GA-2100, with its unique octagonal bezel. The new DWE-5657RE, which is designed based on the DW-5600, has an interchangeable round DW-5700 bezel to give the pleasure of two different looks in one timepiece.
In addition to the anniversary logo engraved on the case back, a star is also engraved on the button on the lower left side of the case for the three models, and on the watch glass at the 40 minute mark for the GA- 114RE. On the DWE-5657RE and the DW-6640RE, the anniversary logo appears when the backlight is turned on.
The bezel and band are made with bio-based resins for less environmental impact. The newly developed modules used in the DWE-5657RE and DW-6640RE provide a high brightness LED backlight and a battery life of five years. The special packaging for these models is made using recycled paper to help promote a circular economy.
