Casio is celebrating the 40th anniversary of G-Shock with the release of three separate watches called REMASTER BLACK<\/strong>. The lineup includes the square DWE5657RE<\/strong> (which also comes with a swappable oval bezel), the DW6640RE<\/strong> with the iconic front light button, and the blacked-out GA2140RE<\/strong> with an analog\/digital display. With fresh new takes on some of G-Shock’s most iconic silhouettes, Casio’s 40th anniversary REMASTER series offers something for every G-Shock devotee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with their sleek blacked-out aesthetics, all three 40th anniversary models boast robust 200-meter water resistance and an extra-bright Super Illuminator backlight for legibility in low light. But the details don’t stop there. Nodding to stone monuments that endure the ages, the eco-friendly bands are hot-stamped with a timeline of G-Shock milestones over the past 40 years – a subtle commemoration of the watch line’s rich heritage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for added convenience, the batteries on two of the models have been enhanced to last up to 5 years between changes, giving you more time before your next trip to the jeweler. With thoughtful touches that celebrate G-Shock innovation past and present, these 40th anniversary releases demonstrate why the iconic watch series continues to withstand the test of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other small touches include a custom-engraved pusher, caseback, and band loop\/keeper, and a 40th anniversary graphic that appears when illuminated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DWE5657RE-1 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The DWE5657 <\/strong>pays homage to the watch that started it all – the original DW-5000<\/strong> released in 1983. Casio made waves by advertising the rugged DW-5000 alongside its other high-tech watches like the TC-500<\/strong> touchscreen calculator and the TS-3000<\/strong> digital thermometer in Popular Science magazine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ad highlighted the DW-5000’s groundbreaking shock-resistant construction and 10-year battery life, setting the stage for G-Shock’s reputation for durability and performance. With the 40th anniversary DWE5657<\/strong>, Casio brings back the classic ’80s square case design now rendered in sleek black, updating the original, unbreakable G-Shock for a new generation. The re-release celebrates how far the series has come while remaining true to its indestructible roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DWE5657 <\/strong>dial eliminates extraneous text for a clean, stylish look, with just the CASIO name printed subtly below. Enhanced legibility comes courtesy of a positive LCD display, which looks sharp against the deep black background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But where this model really stands out is its interchangeable bezel system. Packaged with a plastic pry tool, the DWE5657 includes both the classic square bezel and an alternate oval bezel reminiscent of the iconic DW5700<\/strong>. With a simple swap, you can change up the look while maintaining the rugged, water-resistant G-Shock core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
