G-Shock Clear Remix Series features transparent components and special modules for 40th Anniversary

Casio unveiled the G-Shock Clear Remix 40th Anniversary Series which includes seven watches with transparent parts and special anniversary markings. The classic digital DW models (DW-5040RX-7, DW-6940RX-7, DWE-5640RX-7) feature a transparent LCD display background that reveals a four-star symbol on the module’s circuit board to commemorate the 40th Anniversary.

The DW-5040RX-7 is an origin tribute model with a stainless steel screw-back case like the original DW-5000. Each model has a gold ion plated stainless steel anniversary band keeper, except for the DWE-5640RX which has a hybrid band. The lower band of the DWE-5640RX is a stainless steel link band and the upper band is a clear resin band. The upper band is attached to the metal clasp of the lower band. This is a highly unusual design and is the first G-Shock with such a configuration.

Two of the models are the smaller-sized GMA-S114RX-7A and GMA-S2140RX-7A, which match the larger GA-114RX-7A and GA-2140RX-7A. All seven of these limited edition models have the 40th Anniversary case back engraving by Eric Haze.

All of the DW models have an LED backlight. Unlike the DW-5040PG-1 which had an EL backlight, the DW-5040RX-7 has an LED light. The GA-114RX-7A and GMA-S114RX-7A have an auto LED light, and the GA-2140RX-7A and GMA-S2140RX-7A have a double LED light with LCD backlight.

According to Casio, the DW-6940RX, GA-114RX, GMA-S114RX are the first-ever models with a see-through case which is made of clear glass fiber diamide. Other elements that are transparent include the following.

Dial: DW-6940RX, GA-114RX, GMA-S114RX, GA-2140RX, GMA-S2140RX
LCD: DW-5040RX, DWE-5640RX, DW-6940RX
Buttons: GA-114RX, GMA-S114RX

The series is scheduled to be released in Japan on July 7, 2023, with other regions expected to follow.

Update: G-Shock U.S. released the DW5040RX-7 ($230), DW6940RX-7 ($180), DWE5640RX-7 ($260), and GA2140RX-7A ($150). It appears that these models will be available only at Casio.com in the U.S.

Original Post (May 31, 2023):

An upcoming G-Shock 40th Anniversary series was leaked online and is rumored to be coming in August 2023. With the passing of G-Shock’s birth month (April) and the release of the 40th Anniversary Exhibition Notebook publication in Thailand, there were concerns that Casio might be finished with the G-Shock anniversary releases. That turns out not to be the case, and we are hopeful that more limited anniversary editions are coming later in the year.

According to a leaked image, the “RX” series includes the DW-5040RX-7, DW-6940RX-7, DWE-5640RX-7, and GA-114RX-7A, all with a clear skeleton-style bezel and band. The background of the LCD display on the full digital models is transparent, and the circuit board of the module is visible beneath it. The GA-114RX does not have a clear LCD display but an inverted one with a black background instead. The stainless steel case of the DW-5040RX screw-back model appears to have a black or gray ion-plating which is visible beneath the bezel. The resin case of the DW-6940RX appears to be white. The image of the DWE-5640RX strangely shows it with a resin upper band and a metal lower band. Maybe it includes one resin bezel and band set and one metal bezel and band set (or maybe just a single resin bezel with two band sets), but we’ll have to wait for confirmation on that. A previous leak from February showed that the circuit board of the DW-6940RX has gold ion-plated parts, along with a four-stars anniversary marking and a “G” logo on the board that is visible in the first of the three “eye” displays.

This post will be updated when more information and images are available.
