G-Shock Men's Blackout Digital Revival Watch. 2018 will mark 35 years since G-SHOCK first revolutionized timekeeping with its innovative toughness back in 1983. To mark the occasion, CASIO is releasing the DW5750E to bring back the look of a historical favorite under a back-to-original-basics theme. The DW5700C was originally released in 1987 as the first basic G-SHOCK model with a round design. It was not sold domestically in Japan, but it could be seen on the wrists of famous musicians around the globe, ultimately making the DW5700C a classic worldwide hit. This model has been reissued a number of times in the past as well to mark special G-SHOCK occasions. The design and other aspects of the original models have been reproduced for this new version. Basic model functions include stopwatch and timer, along with EL backlight and more. Shock resistant, 200-meter water resistance and an electro-luminescent backlight merge, making this timepiece a must-have.
