This historical favorite model revived for the modern day was based on the theme of "back to basics" to commemorate the 35th anniversary of G-SHOCK in 2018. 

A basic digital model from the early days of G-SHOCK equipped with three new digital graphics not found in the conventional LCD models, the DW-5900C was first released outside Japan and gained worldwide popularity, before breaking into Japan via reimporting. The original design has been faithfully reproduced, right down to the color of the text on the dial. Furthermore, in addition to the basic stopwatch and timer features, it also has practical functions such as an EL backlight. 

It is a revival model of the long-selling DW-6900 series that used three digital graphics.
