A Relaxed Nylon Strap Styling, Characteristic of Urban Research, Adds an Accent

Pursuing toughness and continuously evolving, "G-SHOCK" has produced many masterpieces. Among them, the "DW-5700C," born in 1987, is an early basic round-face model. Although never released in Japan, it gained global popularity thanks to its adoption by famous artists, becoming a legendary piece.
This "DW-5700C" has been revived as the Urban Research bespoke model "DW-5750E." The face is finished in a black monotone, with a white line accenting the digital display. Furthermore, the original resin band has been replaced with a strap made of "CORDURA® fabric," a lightweight and durable nylon material also used in workwear and military items. This marks the first time Urban Research has adopted a nylon material for this model.
This model, blending urban chic design with a military aesthetic, will be released on Friday, November 29, 2019, at Urban Research stores. Pre-orders are currently being accepted on the official Urban Research online store.
