Casio G-Shock 25th Anniversary Watches Has it been already 25 years that Casio introduced the first G-Shock watch? Apparently so, as Casio introduces a 25th anniversary G-Shock watch line-up in Japan.

The new Casio G-Shock watch line-up include the GW-225, AWG-525, GW-5625, GW-9025 and GW-5525.

The GW-5525 resembles the very first G-Shock DW-5000. The G-Shock AWG-525 combines analog and digital display and the GW-225 stands for the diver G-Shock watches. The GW-9025 is a radio controlled G-Shock timepiece.

The actual 25th anniversary is in May 2008, but Casio thought to start early with selling anniversary watches. The first Casio G-Shock was the DW-5000, which started to sell in May 1983. Overall Casio sold 60 million G-Shock watches and the company design 2,000 different models over the years.

The new anniversary G-Shock watches go on sale in May. The new Casio watches come in a special crate (see photo below). More details in this Casio press-release (Japanese). Shop for Casio G-Shock Watches.
