Casio is expanding its collaboration with Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai to more European markets. Two models, the G-Shock DW-5600KHG25-1 and DW-5600KHK25-1, were first released in Japan earlier this year and are now listed on Casio’s online stores in Germany, the Netherlands, and other EU countries.
The DW-5600KHG25-1 is based on Hokusai’s “Fine Wind, Clear Morning,” showing Mount Fuji in orange against a blue sky. The DW-5600KHK25-1 uses the famous “The Great Wave off Kanagawa,” with blue waves set against a light yellow background. Both watches have a positive display with a light background, surrounded by a black resin bezel, case, and strap. Dimensions are 48.9 × 42.8 × 13.4 mm, and the weight is 52 g. The band is resin and fits wrist sizes from 145 to 205 mm.
These models are part of the DW-5600 series and come with standard G-Shock functions. Features include a 1/100 second stopwatch with split time and first and second place measurements, a countdown timer with a 24-hour range, hourly time signal, and a multifunctional alarm. A flash alert is included, which triggers with alarms, countdowns, and hourly signals. The display shows time, date, and day of the week. A white LED backlight with afterglow makes the screen visible in low light, and pressing the light button reveals the Japanese characters for Japan (日本). These characters are also engraved on the caseback.
The watches are shock resistant and water resistant to 200 m. They use a CR2016 battery with an estimated five-year life. The mineral glass display adds durability, and the calendar is fully automatic until 2099. Accuracy is rated at ±15 seconds per month.
Pricing & availability
In the EU, both watches will sell for €119, with the UK release of the DW-5600KHK25-1 priced at £99.90. Release dates have not been confirmed.
