G-SHOCK Revival Collection

DW5600RL-1A

G-SHOCK has spent forty years distilling the rugged digital tool watch down to its essence. The Origin collection celebrates the brand's rich history of relentless pursuit. Paying tribute to the original DW-5000C-1A from 1983, G-SHOCK has taken four of its most popular models, descendants of the watch that started it all, and added a new colorway inspired by its signature primary shades of red (brand color), blue (200 meter water resistance), and yellow (Shock Resistance).

DW6900RL-1A

The DW-5600, closest in design to the original DW-5000, captures the brand’s origins in an affordable package. Its larger sibling, the DW-6900, showcases the brand’s evolution into ever more capable watches — all while never straying from the principles that made them an icon.

GA2100RL-1A

The G-SHOCK Revival Collection features the brand’s standard suite of stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm, full auto calendar, and LED backlight complications, while the analog-digital GA110 and GA-2100 add a world time complication.

GA110RL-1A

The analog-digital GA-110 and GA-2100 highlight the brand’s commitment to innovation, blending the brand’s digital with traditional analog timekeeping. The oversized GA-110 is a bold, high-impact design, while the more minimal GA-2100 revives the original G-SHOCK’s octagonal form with subtle red accents.

DW5000R-1A

The overall design of this tribute is very similar to the original. The case is slightly larger at 42.3mm yet it is still a stainless steel core that is now wrapped in bio-based resin instead of regular resin. Lug-to-lug is a compact 48.9mm which creates a very comfortable fit on the wrist. Even with the screw down case back, a design choice taken directly from the original, protruding from the back and increasing the overall thickness to 13.1mm.
