G-Shock Two Tone Utility Color Series: GX-56 with positive LCD display returns
June 30, 2024
Coming in July is the G-Shock Two Tone Utility Color Series featuring a military style with black bezels, brown or olive green bands, and orange or yellow accents. Also notable is that each model has a positive LCD display, which is a welcome trend in recent utility series. This series also includes the first GX-56 model (GX-56TU-1A5) with a positive LCD display since the discontinued GX-56-1B and GX-56SLG-1. Like the recent GX-56MF-1, the GX-56TU-1A5 is equipped with module 3545 featuring the LED backlight instead of the EL backlight. The cult favorite GX-56, originally launched in 2010, is an extra-rugged Tough Solar-powered watch with mud-resistant buttons.
The other models include the GA-100TU-1A3 and GA-710TU-1A3 with olive green bands and the DW-6900TU-1A5 and GA-110TU-1A5 with light brown bands. The DW-6900TU-1A5 has a textured metallic (aluminum) front light button, which is unique for a DW-6900. (The GA-710TU also has a metallic front light button, which distinguishes it from GA-700 models.)
The tax-included prices in Japan are as follows: DW-6900TU-1A5JF (15,400 yen), GA-100TU-1A3JF (18,700 yen), GA-110TU-1A5JF (20,350 yen), GA-710TU-1A3JF (19,800 yen), GX-56TU-1A5JF (23,100 yen).
