"Predictably, the two variants: DW5600RGM-1 and DW6900RGM-5 reflect the folding patterns of origami with the dotted lines. This gives off the illusion of mountain and valley folds with washi paper like texture on the bezel and band. The origami theme carries further into the watch details. On both watches, Casio has included the silhouette of a crane - a globally recognized symbol in origami - within the LED backlight and engraved on the case back."
"Casio's choice of materials balances durability with aesthetic intent. The cases, bezels, and bands of both models are made from bio-based resin that retains the strength and impact resistance expected of G-Shock watches while supporting the distinctive textured finish. Despite the artistic approach, these watches maintain the toughness that the G-Shock line is known for, including shock resistance and a 200-meter water resistance rating suitable for swimming and surface water sports."
Two origami-inspired G-Shock models, DW5600RGM-1 and DW6900RGM-5, reproduce paper-folding patterns with dotted crease lines and a washi-like textured finish on bezel and band. Both include a crane silhouette in the LED backlight and an engraved caseback, and the special packaging references folded forms. Cases, bezels, and bands use bio-based resin to preserve G-Shock strength while offering the textured aesthetic. Both watches retain standard G-Shock durability, including shock resistance and 200-meter water resistance. The DW-6900RGM-5 is larger (approx. 53.2 × 50 × 18.7 mm, 67 g) while the DW-5600RGM-1 is more compact (approx. 48.9 × 42.8 × 13.4 mm, 53 g).
