Summary
- G‑SHOCK launched an Origami‑Inspired Watch Series, celebrating Japanese paper art traditions

- Priced at $165 USD and available now
G-SHOCK has unveiled its Origami‑Inspired Watch Series that pay homage to Japan’s centuries‑old paper art, blending cultural tradition with modern durability. Crafted in Japan, the collection draws inspiration from origami motifs often seen during Oshōgatsu (Japan’s New Year), such as cranes, turtles and kabuto helmets.
Two models headline the series: the DW5600RGM‑1 and DW6900RGM‑5. Both are housed in G‑SHOCK’s signature shock‑resistant cases, with origami detailing folded into every element of the design. Each watch incorporates dotted line patterns symbolizing valley and mountain folds, while the bezel and band feature a washi‑inspired texture.
The monochrome aesthetic is elevated by subtle textures and symbolic engravings, while the special packaging continues the origami narrative, making the series as much a collector’s piece as a functional timekeeper.The LED backlight and caseback reveal a crane motif, reinforcing the theme of good fortune and heritage.
Available now through G‑SHOCK’s official U.S. site, both models from the Origami‑Inspired Series are priced at $165 USD. The watches are available to shop through the brand now.
