The Heritage

The G-Shock 6900 belongs to Casio's line of shock-resistant digital watches. It features the Calibre 3240 with perpetual calendar, chronograph, countdown, and alarm functions. The GD-X6900-7 reference has a resin case with the modular construction typical of the G-Shock series.
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 a strap be fitted to the Casio G-Shock 6900 GD-X6900-7?

The GD-X6900-7 features a proprietary lug attachment that does not accommodate standard straps with conventional straight bars. However, a strap built to measure, specifically crafted for your watch, enables complete personalisation. <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> is the atelier specialising in this artisanal practice.

How is a bespoke strap made for the G-Shock 6900 GD-X6900-7?

The Casati Milano craftsman takes precise measurements of the lugs and case directly on your watch, not from generic charts. The strap is then handcrafted and mounted directly onto the watch, ensuring perfect fit and zero mechanical play. Each realisation is unique, the result of specific measurements and direct consultation with the client.

What type of leather suits the character of the G-Shock 6900 GD-X6900-7?

The G-Shock 6900 pairs best with robust, natural leathers: aged vegetable-tanned leather, cordovan, or leathers with pronounced grain and evolving patina. Ideal colours are dark brown, austere black, or aged cognac; finishes must be minimal, with sturdy stitching. Avoid glossy finishes or excessive decorative details: the strap should be a silent complement, not a visual contrast.

How long does a well-made artisanal strap last on the G-Shock 6900?

A strap crafted with quality leather and robust stitching endures for many years, often outlasting the watch itself. Natural leather ages gracefully, developing patina and increasing aesthetic value over time. Longevity depends on daily wear, maintenance, and the inherent quality of the chosen material.

Why is the G-Shock 6900 considered a cultural icon beyond watchmaking?

Launched in the Nineties with its distinctive asymmetrical "three-eye" design, the G-Shock 6900 became a symbol of technological anti-conformism and durability. Worn by legendary musicians such as Eminem, it transcended the realm of sports horology to enter the history of counterculture design, representing a philosophy where pure functionality prevails over conventional aesthetics.
