G-SHOCK, the trailblazing watch brand renowned for its exceptional durability and visionary craftsmanship, proudly announces the launch of its latest innovation, the ‘Back to G-SHOCK’ G-5600BG-1, on the occasion of World Earth Day. This limited-edition timepiece reaffirms the brand’s continuous commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the relentless pursuit of excellence in watchmaking.

The G5600BG-1 is not only visually striking but also environmentally conscious. Crafted from recycled resin, the timepiece exemplifies G-SHOCK’s dedication to reducing environmental impact while maintaining its renowned durability and style. Each watch features a bezel and band made from resin scraps, ingeniously repurposed from previous CASIO watch manufacturing processes.

This limited-edition watch has been designed essentially to mark April 12, the birthday of G-SHOCK.

Furthermore, the packaging of each watch is thoughtfully crafted from eco-friendly materials,  reinforcing G-SHOCK’s commitment to sustainability across its entire product lifecycle. Furthering the eco-conscious ethos, in addition to minimizing the environmental footprint of resin waste, the G5600BG-1 is equipped with Tough Solar technology, ensuring it remains charged through sunlight exposure.  Other hallmark features include shock resistance, 200 meters of water resistance, alarms, timers and a full automatic calendar.

Priced at INR 9,995, the ‘Back to G-SHOCK’ G5600BG-1 offers watch enthusiasts the opportunity to own a piece of G-SHOCK history while supporting sustainable practices. The limited-edition timepiece will be available at Casio & G-SHOCK Exclusive stores nationwide and online from end of April 2024.

About G-SHOCK:

G-SHOCK, the pioneering timepiece that revolutionized the very concept of toughness.

In 1981, a daring challenge to prevailing norms ignited the genesis of G-SHOCK. Driven by Mr. Kikuo Ibe’s unwavering conviction that a watch could be crafted to withstand any shocks, Project Team Tough was formed to translate this vision into reality. Over a span of approximately two years, this team meticulously developed more than 200 prototypes.

Since its inception, G-SHOCK has embarked on a relentless journey of evolution, ceaselessly pursuing greater resilience and bold stylish appeal across structure, materials, and functionalities. Envisioned in 1983, G-SHOCK now stands on the cusp of its 40th Anniversary in 2023, having left an indelible mark by retailing over 100 million watches across 100 nations.
