The "first-generation G-SHOCK reissue model" symbolizes the evolution and succession of the brand. This monumental piece of watch history has been fused with the original design and modern technology for over 40 years. On April 12, 1983, Casio surprised the world by releasing the G-SHOCK, a tough watch with improved shock and vibration resistance for use in harsh environments.

The watch's high shock resistance far exceeded the ISO standard for shock-resistant watches and was able to withstand the shocks received during intense sports and the continuous vibrations of devices such as chainsaws and jackhammers. It completely changed the lifestyles of people around the world at the time and established a new genre of wristwatch known as the "tough watch."

In addition to its high functionality, its distinctive shape has also been highly praised, and in Japan it will be registered as the first three-dimensional trademark for a wristwatch by the Japan Patent Office in 2023.

A masterpiece that has made its mark in watch history: the original G-SHOCK has been reproduced, with the original design recreated. Over the 40 years since the brand was founded, G-SHOCK has continued to evolve and has released many models.

This special model is a revival of the original design, which embodies the will and hopes for the future, using current G-SHOCK technology.

The case is made of stainless steel, just like the original, and the band is a reproduction of the original model, down to its length, shape, and dimple position.

It represents G-SHOCK's determination to return to its original purpose after 40 years and pave the way for the future.

On the other hand, the bezel and band are made of biomass plastic, which reduces the environmental impact.

LED backlighting is used to improve visibility.

The case size has increased from 41.6mm on the original model to a more modern 42.3mm.

The bezel is a faithful reproduction of the original model. The areas on the bezel where the letters "PROTECTION" and "G-SHOCK" are printed are flat, faithfully recreating the original model.

The face design features red, blue, and yellow, and is a faithful reproduction of the G-SHOCK brand colors used in the original model: red, which represents the passion to continue taking on new challenges; blue, which represents high water resistance; and yellow, which represents shock resistance.

It also features a brick pattern that evokes a sense of robustness.

The beautifully mirror-polished screw-back case back's label layout and the dynamic "Shock Resistant" label are reminiscent of the original model, and the design has been inherited down to the smallest detail.

* Due to manufacturing reasons, the logo and text on the back of the actual product may not be aligned directly with the dial.

Manufactured at Yamagata Casio As a tribute to the engineers who completed the original model, this watch was made by the same craftsmen and engineers at Yamagata Casio, the mother factory of G-SHOCK.
