Casio Honors the Legendary G-SHOCK with the Reissue of the Original - Introducing the DW5000R-1A Origin Revival

Introduced more than four decades ago, the Casio G-SHOCK has reshaped the horological industry with unflustering resilience and strength. Its meticulously engineered build, wrapped in a resin-shrouded stainless steel case, promised a level of durability never before seen. An early promotion featured the watch as a hockey puck, emphasizing its superiority in endurance.

Casio humbly bows to its past with the reissue of this horological classic. The Casio G-SHOCK DW5000R-1A Origin Revival is neither a mere regurgitation of the ancestor, nor an entirely reborn product. It presents itself as an updated reproduction of the legendary original design.

A noteworthy feature is the resin strap that meticulously mimics the original’s texture and design. A step towards environmental consciousness, Casio now manufactures the strap and case cladding from bio-based resin. Echoing the resilience of the original, the watch boasts a mineral crystal and 200m water resistance.

The updated LED backlight offers better visibility, adding a modern twist while still retaining the retro vibe. The face of the watch serves as a testament to the past, with the black, white, yellow, and red scheme echoing the 1983 original. Functions of the watch replicate the original, offering stopwatch, alarm, timer, automatic calendar, and backlight.

After four decades, the Casio G-SHOCK remains a symbol of strength and durability. The revamped Casio G-SHOCK DW5000R-1A Origin Revival is a tribute to this continued resilience and the indomitable legacy of G-SHOCK.
