The Heritage

The DW-6900CB-8 Metallic Mirror is a digital watch model launched in 1995, featuring a resin case with a distinctive insect-eye design and triple digital display. The watch embodies G-Shock's core philosophy of durability and military functionality. This iconic model requires specialized strap adaptation due to its integrated resin attachment system, necessitating custom technical intervention for leather or alternative strap options.
Made to Measure

The strap for this watch is made to measure

On the Casio G-Shock 6900 the bracelet is drawn as part of the case: no catalogue strap will fit. In the atelier we take the measurements on the watch itself and build the strap on the piece — that is the work of Casati Milano.

FAQ

Can I fit a standard strap on the Casio G-Shock 6900 DW-6900CB-8?

No, the bracelet is moulded directly into the resin case. A standard spring bar attachment won't work. To fit a premium leather strap, the work must be done in the atelier, building a custom adapter directly onto your case.

How does the personalised strap work for the G-Shock 6900?

You meet me at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment at Via XX Settembre 15. I take measurements directly from your case, calculate the attachment geometry and build the resin adapter. Each job is bespoke: your watch gets its own solution.

Which leather do you recommend for this model?

I choose Tuscan leather, vegetable-tanned. This G-Shock has a brutal, post-industrial soul: leather with character, that ages visibly, respects that. If you prefer to keep the technical-sport DNA, I offer NATO Premium in regenerated yarns — quieter choice, but ethically coherent.

How long does a well-made strap last?

With quality leather and minimal care—wiping dust occasionally, letting it dry after sweat—you keep a strap between 5 and 7 years. The leather ages well: creasing, darkening, fibre relaxation are natural patina, not breakdown.

Why is the DW-6900CB-8 still relevant after 30 years?

Because it stayed true to itself. Triple digital display, stable shape, genuine resistance. No chasing trends. I've seen these watches survive conditions that would destroy anything else: that's why streetwear culture and military still wear it, without irony.
