Pop Watches Inspired by Nishikigoi, Popular Overseas

From G-SHOCK, the tough watch that has been evolving in pursuit of uncompromising strength since its debut in 1983, come three new models designed with "Nishikigoi" as inspiration. Often called "living jewels" or "swimming works of art," Nishikigoi are highly popular overseas. The new models are based on the original three-eyed DW-6900, the digital-analog combination GA-100, and the classic square DW-5600.
The DW-6900JK is inspired by the Kohaku variety, known for its red spots on a white background, and is designed in red and white. Red patterns are applied to the entire white-based body, the dial also features red patterns on a white base, and the backlight reveals a pattern that coordinates with the face design.
The GA-100JK is inspired by Taisho Sanshoku, which has red and black spots on a white background. The red body features black patterns, and the face uses red accents on a white base, expressing "Taisho Sanshoku" across the entire watch. The sub-dials are adorned with Nishikigoi-motif hands.
The DW-5600JK is inspired by Showa Sanshoku, which has red and white patterns on a black background. The black base features printed patterns on the face inspired by Nishikigoi in red and white. Similarly, the backlight reveals a pattern that coordinates with the face design. Each watch has a Nishikigoi illustration on the band keeper and all three models come in special packaging featuring the Nishikigoi design.
