To celebrate BAPE’s 30th anniversary, Casio and A Bathing Ape have collaborated on a special-edition G-Shock watch. The new GM-6900BAPE-1 features a black and gold colorway with a metal bezel adorned with BAPE’s signature camo pattern. The watch comes with an additional interchangeable fabric strap in BAPE’s original green camo pattern.
The watch is based on the metal-bezel version of the classic 6900 series and measures 49.7mm in diameter by 18.6mm thick. The case is made from resin with a mineral glass crystal, and the bezel is stainless steel with a black ion-plated coating. The four buttons located along the sides of the case are given a metallic gold ion-plated finish, while the fifth button positioned on the front of the watch features the letter “B” for BAPE.
The face of the watch features an inverted LCD screen, gold text on the bezel, and a metallic gold-colored ring surrounding the outer perimeter of the dial. The dial plate itself is a matte dark gray color, and sitting at the very top of the dial is the “BAPE” name in gold letters.
The watch is powered by the same Module No. 3529 quartz movement that you will find inside other models from the 6900 series and offers the same multi-function digital sports features, such as a stopwatch, countdown timer, programmable alarm, automatic calendar, and backlight.
The box for the new GM-6900BAPE-1 differs from the standard-production series and delivers the watch in special A Bathing Ape 30th anniversary packaging.
The new Casio G-Shock x A Bathing Ape GM-6900BAPE-1 is a special-edition model that will not be a permanent offering within the lineup. However, it is not a limited edition where production will be capped at a specific number of examples. The watch is priced at $350 USD.
