From founder to innovator, weaving through a legacy of timeless designs to cutting-edge technologies, G-SHOCK’s 40th Anniversary sets out to resonate across generations in the SHOCK THE WORLD Celebration

In an extraordinary milestone, G-SHOCK, celebrated for its robust and stylish timepieces, marks four decades of unwavering toughness. This 40th-anniversary celebration throughout the year, culminating in the grand event SHOCK THE WORLD, not only honors G-SHOCK’s unparalleled legacy but also underscores the brand’s evolution, staying true to its core values of resilience and cutting-edge design.

40 Years of Leadership in Toughness

The 40th-anniversary celebration unveils the brand’s evolution with campaigns such as That’s Tough, an exploration of the new brand concept redefining ‘Toughness.’ G-SHOCK recognizes the subjective and personal nature of toughness for each individual, reflecting on its journey of innovation and resilience.

“That’s Tough” Campaign

A global phenomenon event, spanning Southeast Asia with a Rooted in Toughness Pop-Up Tour that reached Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia, showcases iconic G-SHOCK timepieces that have left an indelible mark on the world, alongside the continuous effort that has propelled the brand to new heights. As part of commemorating 40 years, G-SHOCK presents the ‘Dear Younger Me‘ campaign, featuring Kikuo IBE, the Father and Founder of G-SHOCK. In a heartwarming video, IBE recounts his journey and the challenges he faced while creating the first-ever G-SHOCK watch. The campaign inspires users to reflect on what ‘Tough’ means to them, emphasizing resilience and determination.

To complement the celebration, G-SHOCK launched special anniversary models, including the GCW-B5000UN, a carbon edition watch, which inherits the iconic form of the very first G-SHOCK that employs carbon materials to achieve both high strength and reduced weight. And an exclusive G-D001, an 18K Gold model as part of the Dream Project #2, developed in collaboration with CASIO’s R&D team and AI assistance. This unique timepiece symbolizes G-SHOCK’s commitment to breaking boundaries and pushing the limits of innovation.
