DW5040PG-1 40th Anniversary Watch

Story

An innovative update that pays homage to the original G-Shock

One thing mattered to Kikuo Ibe when he designed the G-Shock back in 1983: toughness. Everything we love about the iconic watch—the blocky shape, the encapsulating bezel, the serious water resistance—were all in service of that single goal. An innovative take on the original, the DW5040PG-1 40th Anniversary celebrates the durability of the design with modern touches that make this timepiece one you’ll want—and be able—to wear forever.
