The DW-5600BBN is a blackout version of the G-SHOCK DW-5600, Casio’s iconic flagship watch that traces its square-shaped, resilient roots back to 1987. This iteration comes with a few twists, like a much more minimal face and a CORDURA nylon strap in a NATO style–this material is more often seen in EDC bags but makes a rare appearance for the brand and this model.
Though technology has since progressed in the past 30 years, the DW-5600’s core features of 200 meters of water resistance, shockproof design, and versatile timekeeping functions still find their way to G-SHOCKs today. It’s a prime example of a product getting it right the first time. You’d be hard-pressed to find a hardy watch with 200 meters of water resistance, wall-banging levels of impact protection, illumination, a stealthy negative LCD design and a complement of alarms and multiple timekeeping modes while still keeping the price within reach. If you’ve been looking for a rock-solid stealthy black watch to round out your EDC, pick up the DW-5600BBN at the link below.
