Casio has launched the G-Shock DW5000R-1A Origin Revival, meticulously crafted to mirror the design of the first G-Shock released in 1983. This model pays homage to its roots with a stainless steel internal case and enhanced features for today's technology-savvy user.

The DW5000R-1A marks a return to the roots of G-Shock, featuring a design nearly identical to the first-ever model but enhanced with modern technology. The watch showcases a stainless steel internal case, secured with a screw-down back that promises durability and a vintage appeal reminiscent of the original G-Shock ethos.

With a case measuring 43.3mm in diameter and a thickness of 13.1mm, the new model maintains the robust, impactful presence that has been a hallmark of the G-Shock line. It features a classic black soft-resin bezel and a band made from bio-based resin, aligning with Casio's recent push towards sustainability.

Inside the rugged exterior lies Casio's commitment to innovation—the DW5000R-1A is powered by a digital quartz movement that includes essential functions such as a stopwatch, alarm, and timer, complemented by a bright white LED backlight for enhanced readability. Importantly, the incorporation of bio-based materials underscores Casio’s dedication to reducing the environmental impact of its products.

Assembled with meticulous attention to detail at Casio's Yamagata factory in Japan, known as the "mother factory" for G-Shock, this model not only ensures premium quality but also pays tribute to the skilled craftsmanship that G-Shock is renowned for.

The Casio G-Shock DW5000R-1A Origin Revival is available for $200 USD. Despite its advanced features and historical significance, it offers excellent value for collectors and tech enthusiasts alike, reflecting both the legacy and the future of the G-Shock family.
