Casio unveils two origami G-Shock watches at €149: an ultra-trendy folded design

When the art of Japanese folding meetsrobust watchmaking, the result is striking. Casio has just unveiled two new G-SHOCK watches inspired by the ancient art of origami folding. Priced at an affordable 149 euros, these timepieces are particularly attractive to fans of unique design.

Origami on the wrist with the G-SHOCK collection

The Japanese brand draws its inspiration from an age-old tradition. Origami, the delicate art of folded paper, is now engraved on ultra-resistant cases. This fusion of cultural heritage and modern technology creates a fascinating contrast.

The two new models feature geometric patterns reminiscent of paper’s characteristic folds. Every detail has been designed to evoke this aesthetic without sacrificing the legendary solidity of the range. As a result, watch enthusiasts can wear a genuine tribute to Japanese culture.

These creations are part of an artistic approach. As a result, they appeal to collectors as much as to neophytes in search of originality. The bold design does not compromise the expected technical performance.

“The G-SHOCK has always embodied absolute resistance, and these new editions add a rare poetic dimension to it.”

Two distinct models for two distinct styles

The Casio G-SHOCK DW-5600RGM-1 comes in a deep black hue, giving it a sober, versatile look. Its square case reflects the iconic codes of the line, while integrating origami motifs on the strap and dial. Suitable for both casual and more sophisticated looks.

For its part, the G-SHOCK DW-6900RGM-5 opts for a luminous white finish that immediately catches the eye. This light color enhances the geometric engravings in a subtle way. What’s more, its round format provides an interesting alternative for those who prefer this style of case.

• Ultra-impact-resistant resin case
• Waterproof to a depth of 200 metres
• LED backlighting for easy night-time reading
• Battery life estimated at several years
• Exclusive origami motifs on bracelet and dial

A contained price for recognized quality

At 149 euros, these watches are positioned in an affordable range. This price enables a wide audience to afford a G-SHOCK model without breaking the bank. Yet the quality of manufacture remains impeccable, true to the brand’s reputation.

The materials used guarantee exceptional durability. The resin of the case absorbs everyday impacts, while the mineral glass protects the dial from scratches. At the same time, weight is kept to a minimum for optimum comfort on the wrist.

This pricing strategy demonstrates the desire to democratize high-end design. From now on, owning an original, solid watch no longer requires a substantial budget. Consumers appreciate this approach, especially in the current economic climate.

Moreover, the resale value of Casio limited editions tends to remain stable. Collectors are keeping a close eye on these releases to enrich their selection. This phenomenon reinforces the appeal of these singular timepieces.

Proven technical features

The internal module offers all the functions expected of a G-SHOCK. The stopwatch, multiple alarms and automatic calendar meet everyday needs. And the digital display remains perfectly legible in all circumstances.

Water resistance to 200 meters means you can enjoy swimming and water sports without worry. This water resistance is accompanied by shock and vibration protection. Adventurers can rely on their watch, even in extreme conditions.

A collection that celebrates Japanese heritage

Origami is much more than a simple folding technique. This discipline embodies patience, precision and beauty in simplicity. Casio pays tribute to these values by transposing them onto its emblematic watches.

Each engraved motif tells a story of transformation. Flat paper becomes sculpture, just as the watch goes beyond its simple utilitarian function. This symbolism speaks to Japanese culture lovers the world over.

The marriage of tradition and modernity has long defined the brand’s identity. These new G-SHOCK models are an elegant extension of this philosophy. They prove that innovation and respect for heritage can coexist harmoniously.

Both references are available now on the official website and from authorized retailers. As is often the case with special editions, demand could quickly outstrip supply. Interested parties had better not delay in securing their favorite model.
