Demue introduces its own custom design of the G-SHOCK DW-5600 with a dominant silver look throughout the entire design. It boasts a more technical design language as it is made from carbon fiber materials which have been compressed and treated with heat.
This results in a non-magnetic design that is resistant to corrosion as well. The timepiece case will not deteriorate under ultraviolet lighting, which reduces the need to create a surface coating as there is a low risk of peeling. The new case helps with decreasing the timepiece's entire weight, with a lightweight measurement of only 55 grams. The G-SHOCK DW-5600 is priced at $620 USD and is now available to shop online at Demue.
