Casio brings Japanese paper art to your wrist with two new origami-inspired G-Shock watches
Casio has released two new G-Shock models in the US market that draw inspiration from the traditional Japanese art of origami. The DW-6900RGM-5 and DW-5600RGM-1 first launched in Japan last year and are now available in the US at a price of $165 each.

Design Details
The design of both watches reflects the folding patterns of origami, using dotted lines that represent mountain and valley folds. Casio has applied a textured finish on the bezel and band that mimics the look of handmade washi paper.
The backlight and case back feature an image of a crane, one of the most well-known symbols of origami. Both watches are made in Japan and ship in special packaging that aligns with the theme.


The DW-6900RGM-5 has a case size of 53.2 x 50 x 18.7 mm and weighs 67 grams. The DW-5600RGM-1 is smaller at 48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4 mm and weighs 53 grams. Both models use bio-based resin for the case, bezel, and band. They are rated for 200-meter water resistance and come with a 5-year battery life using a CR2016 cell.

Casio equips both watches with standard G-Shock features. These include a 1/100-second stopwatch, a countdown timer with auto-repeat, a multi-function alarm, an hourly time signal, a flash alert with a buzzer, and an LED backlight with an afterglow. Timekeeping supports both 12-hour and 24-hour formats, and the full auto-calendar runs until the year 2099. Casio lists the accuracy at Β±15 seconds per month.
In related news, Casio has recently refreshed its popular budget-friendly A158 watches with new metal strap designs, while also introducing three GA-2100K G-Shock models in the US inspired by nightclub aesthetics.
