Casio Computer Co., Ltd. has introduced the DW-6900TR watch collection to mark the 30th anniversary of the DW-6900 series, recognized for its distinctive round shape, triple-graph display, and front button. This new collection revisits the first color variations beyond black that were offered in the DW-6900 series.
The DW-6900 has played a significant role in the G-SHOCK brand, which is known for its emphasis on durability and innovative design. Since its inception, the DW-6900 has served as a foundation for over 100 collaborative designs with various brands and artists. The G-SHOCK line includes several iconic styles, of which the DW-6900 is one.
The DW-6900TR watches replicate the color scheme of the original DW-6900H model, which was the first to feature colors in addition to black. The anniversary collection includes three colors: black, red, and yellow, reflecting a nostalgic design reminiscent of the 1990s. A notable feature of this collection is the inscription “SINCE 1995” that appears on the LCD display when the backlight is activated, along with an engraving of 30 stars on the case back to commemorate the anniversary.
The front button of the watch is made from metal with a mirror finish, which enhances its tactile quality and visibility of the “G” mark. The bezel and band utilize bio-based resin, which is intended to lower the environmental footprint of the product.
The packaging for the DW-6900TR collection is designed to reflect its commemorative nature, featuring the “G” mark along with the signature colors of black, red, and yellow, aligning with the overall theme of the anniversary celebration.
