At the end of November 2024, the Casio G-Shock DW-5000R-1AJF will be released in Japan - a modern version of the legendary DW-5000C from 1983, which started the history of the G-Shock.

Here's What We Know

The watch will have a modern Super Illuminator backlight, an automatic calendar until 2099, an alarm clock, a stopwatch, and water resistance up to 200 metres. Power will be provided by a CR2016 battery with a service life of up to five years.

This model is part of Casio's DW-5000C heritage campaign. Details about the new product first appeared online thanks to leaks on forums and social media.
