G-SHOCK Reimagines Classic Designs with Iconic Styles Collection

A Tribute to the Original Toughness and Timeless Style of G-SHOCK

Dubai, UAE – March 24, 2025 – CASIO announces the launch of the G-SHOCK Iconic Styles Collection, a revival of the brand’s most defining designs, celebrating G-SHOCK’s enduring legacy in toughness and style. This collection reimagines the distinct silhouettes of the DW-5600, DW-6900, GA-110, and GA-2100, each carrying the DNA of the original 1983 DW-5000C — the first-ever G-SHOCK and a true trailblazer in watch design.

Since the debut of the DW-5000C in 1983, G-SHOCK has become synonymous with toughness and innovation. Designed by Kikuo Ibe, the DW-5000C introduced the brand’s signature shock-resistant construction, capable of withstanding a 10-meter drop and 10 atmospheres of water pressure, with a 10-year battery life. This groundbreaking design carved out a new category of durable watches and cemented G-SHOCK’s place in the worlds of fashion, sports, music, and street culture.
