G-SHOCK, the icon of indestructibility, and Hender Scheme, the master of Japanese craftsmanship, have teamed up again. This time, they've created a watch that not only keeps time, but also wears it elegantly - with leather that ages like fine wine and a design that sounds quieter but speaks louder.
Imagine: you take an indestructible digital watch from the 90s, sew it into fine, hand-finished strips of leather, and the result? Exactly what would happen if the Terminator decided to go to art academy. G-SHOCK and Hender Scheme, both rooted in Japanese perfectionism, have joined forces again. And the result is G-SHOCK x Hender Scheme DW-5900, a watch with more character than some people.
Retro aesthetics with soul and patina
The G-SHOCK x Hender Scheme DW-5900, also known as the “Three-Eye”, is one of those models that collectors admire and minimalists despise. But this time, even the latter were able to fall in love a little. The case in warm beige tones shyly glows under the transparent glass, while the natural cowhide leather strap quietly promises to become even more beautiful with time. It patinas like a diary you wear on your wrist.
Everything a G-SHOCK should have (and more)
Of course, this is not a pretty toy for a fashion show. This is a G-SHOCK. And like any true G-SHOCK, this one can:
- survive the plunge to 200 meters deep,
- show time in 48 cities, even those where no one wears a watch,
- to ring five times a day, because why not,
- to measure time with the precision of a stopwatch,
- and flash with EL lighting, which spells out the name Hender Scheme as a secret message from the style's allies.
The inside is powered by a 3465 module, which means the watch will run just like an old Toyota engine – without the luxury, but always reliable.
The signature of elegance you should look for
The G-SHOCK x Hender Scheme DW-5900 isn't one to scream from the posters. Instead, it's discreetly signed on the case back, inside the strap and backlight. Beauty for those who know what they're looking at. And if you're going for a more industrial look, a classic G-SHOCK strap is also waiting in the box. Just in case.
A rarity that requires luck
There won't be many. They were available through an online lottery in late May 2025, and if you were lucky, you could pick one up for €245 – about the price of a decent dinner for two in Tokyo. International buyers? Congratulations if you snag one after May 30th.
A watch with soul, time and patina
The G-SHOCK x Hender Scheme DW-5900 is not a watch for everyone. It's for those who appreciate story, the feel of materials, and the fact that even a digital display can carry history. This is not a watch that screams. This is a watch that whispers – and that's why you hear it. For more information, visit the website G-Shock.
