G-SHOCK x thisisneverthat: an immaculate DW-6900 that will melt collectors?

G-SHOCK and thisisneverthat renew their collaboration with a captivating milky white DW-6900. Discover how this iconic watch is reinvented under the creative direction of the Korean streetwear brand, combining minimalism and functionality with a touch of originality.

A collaboration that is long-term

This isn't the first time that G-SHOCK and thisisneverthat have joined forces. Last year, the two brands had already surprised everyone with a transparent version of the legendary DW-5600. This year, they have chosen to tackle another iconic G-SHOCK model: the DW-6900.

This choice is not insignificant. The DW-6900 is one of the most recognizable watches in the G-SHOCK range, appreciated as much for its robust design as for its versatility. By choosing it as the backdrop for their new creation, G-SHOCK and thisisneverthat show their desire to reinvent a classic while remaining faithful to the brand's DNA.

A sleek design that doesn't lack character

The DW-6900TNT24-7DF, the official name of this collaboration, stands out for its soft and minimalist appearance:

  • Round case completely covered in milky white
  • Matching bracelet for perfect visual uniformity
  • Digital display and front โ€œGโ€ button in immaculate white
  • Subtle contrast between different shades of white
  • This bold choice to rely on only one color gives the watch an unexpected elegance for a G-SHOCK model, while preserving its characteristic robust look.

    Details that make the difference

    Although the overall design is minimalist, thisisneverthat has managed to add its own personal touch through thoughtful details:

  • Korean brand logo subtly integrated on the dial, above the three characteristic graphs of the DW-6900
  • EL backlight activation revealing a second thisisneverthat logo, for a visual surprise in the dark
  • Optimal display readability, even in dark environments
  • These small touches demonstrate the care taken in customizing the model, without distorting the essence of the G-SHOCK DW-6900.

    A watch that combines style and functionality

    Beyond its refined aesthetics, the DW-6900TNT24-7DF retains all the technical qualities that have made the reputation of G-SHOCK:

  • Exceptional impact resistance
  • Guaranteed waterproofness for worry-free daily use
  • Chronograph, alarm and EL lighting functions
  • Optimal wearing comfort thanks to the flexible resin strap
  • This collaboration thus succeeds in creating a watch that is as stylish as it is practical, capable of appealing to both fashion lovers and G-SHOCK fans.

    Limited availability that arouses covetousness

    As is often the case with exclusive collaborations, the G-SHOCK x thisisneverthat DW-6900 benefits from a restricted distribution:

  • Available on the Korean website thisisneverthat
  • On sale in the brand's physical stores
  • No information on possible international availability
  • This rarity is likely to make this watch a highly sought-after item for collectors and fans of both brands, potentially increasing its value on the secondary market.

    A price that remains to be confirmed

    At the time of writing, the official price of the DW-6900TNT24-7DF has not been announced. However, based on G-SHOCK's previous collaborations with streetwear brands, we can expect a slightly higher price tag than a regular DW-6900, probably around โ‚ฌ150-200.

    A watch that divides opinions

    As is often the case with bold collaborations, this G-SHOCK x thisisneverthat has sparked mixed reactions within the watchmaking community:

  • G-SHOCK fans will appreciate this sleek reinterpretation of an iconic model
  • Thisisneverthat fans see it as a must-have collector's item.
  • Some criticize the lack of originality of the monochrome design
  • Others praise the audacity of creating an all-white G-SHOCK
  • A future collector's item?

    There are several factors that could contribute to making this DW-6900TNT24-7DF a sought-after part in the future:

  • The growing notoriety of thisisneverthat in the fashion world
  • The exclusive nature of the collaboration
  • The unique and easily recognizable aesthetic
  • The solid base of a G-SHOCK DW-6900, a model already appreciated by collectors
  • The G-SHOCK x thisisneverthat DW-6900TNT24-7DF is a successful collaboration between two seemingly distant worlds. By combining G-SHOCKโ€™s technical know-how with thisisneverthatโ€™s creative vision, this watch offers a refreshing reinterpretation of a cult model. Its clean, almost monochrome design gives it an unexpected elegance while preserving the characteristic G-SHOCK robustness.

    Whether you are a die-hard G-SHOCK fan looking for a unique piece or a streetwear fashion enthusiast looking to add a touch of horology to your collection, this DW-6900 is certainly worth your attention. It perfectly embodies the current trend of collaborations between watch brands and fashion labels, proving that innovation can be born from the meeting of tradition and modernity.

    It remains to be seen whether this immaculate watch will be able to withstand the ravages of time and daily use without losing its shine. One thing is certain: it will not go unnoticed on the wrist of those lucky enough to get their hands on it.
