Casio along with Hender Scheme has unveiled the new details regarding their latest G-Shock partnership – a minimalist DW-5900 wrapped in leather, featuring Hender Scheme’s unique natural veg-tan strap. While some hints were dropped earlier this month, the exact launch date and base module are now confirmed.
Launch Details
The watch will be initially sold through a web lottery system on May 25, but it’s important to note that this is only for buyers residing in Japan. Following this, it will be available at select Hender Scheme retail locations in Japan starting May 30. Their official Instagram account has verified that sales will take place at Sukima Nakameguro, Sukima Osaka, and Sukima Sendai, with each shop hosting in-person sales on the day of the launch.
A Unique Collaboration
This marks the fourth collaboration between Hender Scheme and G-Shock, and it’s possibly their most unique. The collaboration transformed the typically tough DW-5900 into something much more elegant. The beige resin case and see-through white dial now complement a handmade leather strap that has been intentionally left without finishing, so it can develop a natural patina as time goes on. The branding is quite subtle, featuring “Hender Scheme” printed only on the underside of the strap and on the digital display.
Additional Features
The package also includes a set of original resin straps, allowing users to switch between the unrefined leather option and a more traditional G-Shock style if they prefer.
No price details have been shared yet, and the release seems to be exclusive to Japan for the moment. However, international customers will have the chance to buy through selected global retailers starting May 30.
