The Heritage

It is equipped with the 3240 quartz caliber with perpetual calendar, chronograph, countdown and alarm functions. The resin construction ensures lightness and durability for everyday and sports use.
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 you fit a standard strap on the Casio G-Shock 6900 GD-X6900FB-1?

No, the lug attachment is an integral part of the case and its shock-absorption system. A standard strap will not fit. The solution is to commission a custom-built strap constructed directly on your watch through <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>.

How is a custom strap made for this model?

Casati Milano's atelier operates in three phases: precise measurement of the lug geometry directly on your watch, collaborative selection of leather and finishing, and final construction and assembly of the strap onto the case. It is a bespoke mechanical tailoring operation, not a simple replacement.

Which leather suits the character of the G-Shock 6900 GD-X6900FB-1?

Robust, raw leathers such as Horween Chromexcel, Tuscan Buttero, or aged vegetable-tanned hides amplify the model's raw, anti-establishment aesthetic. Irregular grain and rough texture create a compelling visual contrast with the geometric precision of the resin case, reflecting Absolute Toughness philosophy.

How long does a well-crafted custom strap last?

A strap realised through sartorial method and quality leathers develops patina and form memory over time, improving with wear. Durability depends on material choice and maintenance, but a bespoke work is engineered to accompany your watch for the long term.

Why has the G-Shock 6900 become a global icon since 1983?

Because it broke conventional watchmaking paradigm by uniting extreme durability, chronometric precision, and anti-establishment design in an accessible object. The squared three-dial silhouette and shock resistance made it a symbol of urban subcultures, from Japanese punk to international streetwear, transforming it into an icon transcending mere timekeeping.
