G-SHOCK Origami Series

Sometimes, what makes a watch compelling isn’t just durability or function, but the story it carries. The G-SHOCK Origami-Inspired Series takes one of Japan’s most traditional art forms and translates it into a modern timepiece designed for everyday wear, without losing its cultural depth.

 

Origami has long been part of Japanese life, especially during Oshōgatsu, the New Year season, when symbolic forms like cranes, turtles, and kabuto helmets represent good fortune, resilience, and protection. G-SHOCK draws from these motifs not as decoration, but as a quiet narrative woven into the design.

 

 

The DW-5600RGM-1 and DW-6900RGM-5 retain the brand’s iconic silhouettes, enhanced by subtle details inspired by origami folding lines and washi paper textures. The monochrome palette allows the watches to move effortlessly between settings paired with tailored trousers and a crisp shirt during the week, or layered with casual outerwear and sneakers on weekends.

 

 

Small touches, like the crane motif revealed through the LED backlight and engraved on the caseback, add emotional value to the experience. Even the packaging continues the origami theme, reinforcing the idea that this is a watch meant to be appreciated slowly.

 

Priced at $165 USD, the G-SHOCK Origami Series speaks to men who value thoughtful design, cultural context, and versatility proof that toughness and taste can coexist naturally on the wrist.
