Sale terms and conditions

G-SHOCK marks yet another milestone! Celebrate with a return to the brand’s original game-changing vision, now 40 years later and updated with today’s cutting-edge technologies.

In true G-SHOCK style, the DW-5000R stays true to G-SHOCK origins and yet forges ahead with innovation at the same time. Inheriting the design concepts of the first-ever G-SHOCK, this updated take on the original incorporates current state-of-the-art Casio technologies to deliver today’s advanced functionality in a supremely faithful re-creation of the original iconic design.

Just like the first, the case is made of stainless steel, and the original band design, too, is reproduced down to the smallest detail — length, form, and even the position of the dimples. The case size has been updated to 42.3 mm from the original 41.6 mm. In a further nod to where G-SHOCK began and how far it has come, the bezel and band are, like the original, made with resin, but now bio-based. This material is expected to help reduce environmental impact.

Re-creating the original design of the first G-SHOCK, a milestone in wristwatch history

Since the birth of G-SHOCK over 40 years ago, the brand has maintained a commitment to constant innovation, developing a diverse product portfolio. The design concept of the original model embodied a forward-looking vision. Heir to that very spirit, this special new model, the DW-5000R, incorporates current state-of-the-art G-SHOCK technologies to revive the original iconic design with meticulous faithfulness.

The case is made of stainless steel, just like the original, and the band reproduces the original design too, down to details including its length, form, and even the position of the dimples. Marking a return to the brand’s original vision 40 years on, the design expresses the tireless G-SHOCK determination to keep blazing new trails into the future.

The bezel and band are made with resin, just like the original, but now they use bio-based resin, a material expected to help reduce environmental impact. The high-brightness LED backlight delivers enhanced watch readability. The case size has been updated to 42.3 mm from the original 41.6 mm.

Face design accented with red, blue, and yellow

Iconic colour accents featured on the original model are faithfully reproduced: the G-SHOCK brand colour, red, signifying a passionate determination to keep pushing the limits; blue, expressing the design’s impressive water resistance; and yellow, representing shock resistance. The iconic brick pattern is incorporated as well, evoking a sense of tough durability.

Great watch and throwback to the original

great watch and throwback to the original from the 80's. Band material is very soft and the extra weight due to the **** down case back and module makes it a very quality g-shock square.

I love this watch. It’s almost a homage to the original first issue G shock from 1983 and is manufactured in Japan. It’s faithfully recreates the options that were available for the original issue. Although a bit on the pricey end for the features provided and similar to the GW5600, it’s still a desirable piece for anyone looking to add an early 80s recreation to their collection.

G-Shock DW5000R-1A

I got this wonderful watch last week on the Black Friday sale. It's a reproduction of Casio's first G-Shock with a full metal case and **** down case back, protected with bio resin.

Fantastic reference and a nostalgic piece.

Take care with Deet Aerogard

This is a great watch. Unfortunately, I was getting eaten by mosquitoes the first day I wore it and I sprayed my arms with Aerogard. This caused the bezel and strap to be pitted and marked, so be careful guys. Otherwise, I love this watch.

Beautiful & Very Comfortable

This watch has instantly become my daily driver.

It's beautiful and is the most comfortable watch I own - especially with the silky, soft touch feel of the bio-based resin. Photos do not do it justice.

This watch, being made in Japan and a recreation of the 5000C, really makes it feel special. You can tell that a lot of love was put into making this watch. It oozes quality and reliability.

I couldn't recommend this watch more.
