Story The iconic G-Shock designed in a stylish new colorway As tough as its predecessors, this G-Shock DW5600PT-9 is yet another example of the brand's unrelenting mission to create incredibly durable timepieces versatile enough to wear just about anywhere. G-Shock packs everything we love about their iconic watches into this piece—the blocky shape, the encapsulating bezel, the serious water resistance—resulting in a truly versatile timepiece you won't ever want to (or need to) take off.

Back in ‘81 he was an engineer at Casio, and after his grandfather’s pocket watch fell victim to the unrelenting clutches of gravity he set out to redesign watches with toughness at their core. In doing so, he created the concept of Triple 10 resistance—10 years of battery life, 10 bars of water resistance, and 10m of shock resistance. Just like that, G-Shock and the new standard of toughness was born. But it took over 200 prototypes, two years, and one man’s relentless desire for quality to change the game for good.
