The Heritage

The DW-6900NB-4 Purple is an iconic G-Shock model featuring a resin case and integrated resin lugs with the characteristic three circular eyes. This modular design demands bespoke customization through Atelier Casati Milano, where craftsmen create tailored strap solutions in Italian Cordura® with Tuscan leather reinforcement, premium NATO regenerated fabric with stainless steel hardware, or suede leather with anti-sweat backing to match the watch's tactical durability and Italian refinement.
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-6900NB-4?

No, the bracelet is integrated directly into the resin case. The proprietary attachments don't allow standard straps to connect. What I do in the atelier is build a bespoke solution directly on your watch, studying the case interface down to the millimetre.

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

I work exclusively at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment only. You bring the watch, I take measurements directly from the case and your wrist, then craft the strap to commission. It's precision work that needs time and the atelier space.

What leather do you recommend for this model?

I prefer Tuscan leather with anti-sweat backing: the G-Shock was born as a sports and tactical tool, and Tuscan leather ages beautifully while keeping that raw character. If you want something even more robust, Italian military Cordura with leather reinforcements matches the unbreakable DNA of the 6900.

How long does a well-made strap last?

It depends on use and care. A good leather strap lives 5–7 years of daily wear if you treat it with respect: let it air-dry after sweat, avoid prolonged immersion even though the G-Shock is water-resistant. Leather ages better if you keep it as clean as you can.

Why has the 6900 design stayed the same since 1995?

Because it works. That structure with the three circular indices and modular architecture isn't nostalgia, it's pure logic: it protects the dial, aids readability, distributes impact. I've seen these cases survive drops that would have destroyed any other watch. It's technical efficiency, not sentiment.
