We’re seeing a bunch of new Casio watches being announced and leaked this week. One recent leak points to a special edition for the G-Shock DW-6900 series, celebrating its 30th anniversary. The new model, called the DW-6900TR, is said to bring back the original colors from when it first came out in 1995: black (DW-6900TR-1), red (DW-6900TR-4), and yellow (DW-6900TR-9).
Significance of the Yellow Model
The yellow variant is particularly important, as it was a favorite in the U.S. streetwear community and gained the nickname “Slasher.” In addition to these classic colors, the watch will also have a white LED backlight featuring the phrase “Since 1995.”
Expected Features
If the new DW-6900TR models stick with the familiar features of the DW-6900 series, we might see shock resistance, water resistance up to 200 meters, a full auto-calendar, a stopwatch that measures to 1/100th of a second, and a countdown timer. There may also be extras like an EL backlight with afterglow and multi-function alarms, which align with the practicality that has made the DW-6900 a go-to choice for sports and streetwear over the years.
While the DW-6900TR has not yet been officially revealed, it’s anticipated to hit the market in February as a limited release. Collectors and dedicated G-Shock enthusiasts will probably have to work really hard to snag these models, given their likely popularity and nostalgic value.
Pricing and Availability
Details about pricing and when it will be available are still unclear.
