This week, new information has emerged about the upcoming release of a special model of Casio G-Shock watches dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the DW-6900 series.

Here's What We Know

The DW-6900TR model, which is rumoured to restore the original colours in which the watch was released in 1995: black (DW-6900TR-1), red (DW-6900TR-4) and yellow (DW-6900TR-9).

The yellow version of this model has a special significance, as it was very popular among street fashion fans in the United States in the 1990s and earned the nickname "Slasher". For this edition, Casio has chosen a white LED back with the inscription "Since 1995", which reminds us of the year of the watch's release and adds a special atmosphere and historical significance to it.

Like the previous models in the DW-6900 series, the new versions are likely to retain the legendary shock-resistant design and water resistance to 200 metres. These watches are also expected to feature a full automatic calendar, a stopwatch accurate to 1/100th of a second and a countdown timer.

In addition, the model will receive additional features such as EL backlighting, which glows for some time after switching off, as well as multifunctional alarms. These features have become one of the main reasons for the popularity of G-Shock among athletes and people leading an active lifestyle.

The DW-6900TR is likely to be a limited edition, which will significantly increase demand among collectors and fans of the brand. Given the popularity of the series and the nostalgic value of these models, it is expected that their release will cause a great deal of excitement.

Casio has not yet made an official announcement, but according to preliminary insider data, the DW-6900TR models should be available in February 2025.
