Those looking for a durable timepiece with a versatile aesthetic are likely to find the DW-6900 Military series from Casio G-SHOCK appealing.
The new timepieces are offered in three different colorways: olive, black, and navy. All of the colorways are matte, giving them a more subtle look that makes it easy to integrate them into virtually any casual ensemble. The bands are made from a soft resin material, which matches the faces of the watches as well, helping it to maintain its minimalist and utilitarian aesthetic.
All of the timepieces feature a "five-button design, countdown timer, 1/100 second stopwatch, auto-calendar and water resistance up to 200 meters." Currently, no release date has been given, however consumers can expect to find them soon at G-SHOCK retailers soon.
