Official Marketing Focus from Casio
G-SHOCK is the watch brand that is always finding ways to incorporate world culture icons into exciting new designs, and these new models are themed on garish colors of silver and blue.
The base model is the round face DW-6900 with three graphic displays, which has been the base model for a number of collaborations with world-famous brands. These models are the first to add a brilliant deposition mirror finish to the face of the DW-6900, creating the look of a fine accessory. The stainless steel front button adds further to the overall brilliance of this model. This new mirror dial model is yet another variation of the DW-6900, which has been an essential part of the G-SHOCK lineup in different forms since 1995.
