The Casio G-SHOCK DW-5000R-1AJF will pay homage to the original DW-5000C from 1983, which was the first model in the G-SHOCK series. It is set to hit the market in Japan in late November 2024. A news site based in Japan called 'Great G-Shock World' has reported this information, claiming to have found it from international watch forums. Recently, the model's manual has also surfaced online, providing details on its key features.
Specifications and Features
The watch is equipped with Casio’s advanced Super Illuminator backlight, ensuring clear visibility even in dim conditions. It has a fully automatic calendar that is programmed to run until 2099. The battery, a CR2016, offers a lifespan of up to five years. Other important features include an alarm, a stopwatch, and impressive water resistance rated at 200 meters.
Celebrating a Legacy
This launch is part of a broader initiative by Casio to honor the legacy of the DW-5000C. Earlier in the year, rumors about the DW-5000R-1AJF began circulating, fueled by leaked images on Instagram. As the official release date approaches, excitement and interest have noticeably increased.
Pricing and Availability
The anticipated price for the DW-5000R-1AJF is set to be ¥33,000 (approximately $214), and it is expected to be available only in Japan at first. While there hasn’t been any confirmation regarding a worldwide release, more updates may emerge before the end of the month.
