For centuries, the glowing red chochin lanterns outside Japanese izakayas have signaled good food, cold drinks, and long nights with friends. Now, G-Shock is bringing that iconic piece of Japanese culture to the wrist with two striking new watches: the DW5600AKA-4 and DW6900AKA-4.
The two classic G-Shock silhouettes feature red resin cases and bands, in honor of the izakayas' red paper lights, which date back to Japan's Edo period. The watches' faces are boldly decorated with the Kanji characters reading "耐衝撃," meaning "shock resistance" in a script that evokes traditional Japanese establishment displays.
