The Casio G-Shock DW-5600SKE-7DR reimagines the iconic square case silhouette in transparent resin, revealing the internal construction that has defined shock-resistant horology since 1983. This Skeleton Series iteration strips away visual opacity to showcase the engineering beneath — a bold statement piece that merges technical heritage with contemporary translucent aesthetics. The clear resin case and integrated bracelet are punctuated by a black digital display, creating a monochromatic contrast that honours the DW-5600 lineage while pushing its design language into new territory.
Built to withstand impacts and environments that would compromise conventional timepieces, this G-Shock is rated to 200 metres of water resistance and features full shock protection. The digital module delivers multi-function capabilities including stopwatch, countdown timer, multi-function alarm, and automatic calendar — all displayed on a high-contrast LCD. Four mineral crystal markers at cardinal positions frame the display, while the transparent construction allows light to interact with the watch's architecture in dynamic ways throughout the day.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to offer the full spectrum of CASIO watches, from heritage re-issues to technical innovations like the DW-5600SKE-7DR. This model represents Casio's ongoing commitment to material experimentation and functional durability — a timepiece equally at home in urban environments or extreme conditions. The transparent resin construction is both lightweight and robust, designed to age gracefully while maintaining structural integrity.
Whether you're drawn to the skeletal aesthetic or the proven G-Shock functionality, this reference delivers both without compromise. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg to experience the transparent construction firsthand, and discover why the DW-5600 platform continues to define accessible tool-watch design. Our watch servicing and repairs team provides ongoing support for battery replacements and technical service, ensuring your G-Shock performs reliably for years to come. Nationwide delivery is available across South Africa.

FAQ
Q: Is the DW-5600SKE-7DR suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: Yes. With 200-metre water resistance, this G-Shock is fully suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. The shock-resistant construction and sealed case protect the digital module from impacts and moisture ingress.
Q: How durable is the transparent resin construction?
A: The transparent resin case and bracelet are constructed from the same shock-resistant material used across the G-Shock range. While the skeletal design reveals the internal structure, it maintains full protective capabilities. Minor surface marks may be more visible on clear resin compared to opaque finishes, but the material is highly impact-resistant.
Q: Can the battery be replaced when it runs out?
A: Yes. The CR2016 battery can be replaced by our authorised service team. Cassim & Co. offers battery replacement services for all Casio watches purchased from us. The typical battery life is approximately 2 years depending on usage of backlight and alarm functions.
Q: Does this watch have an alarm and backlight?
A: Yes. The DW-5600SKE-7DR features a multi-function alarm, hourly time signal, and an LED backlight for low-light visibility. The backlight illuminates the entire digital display for easy reading in darkness.
Q: Is this an authorised Casio G-Shock watch with full warranty?
A: Yes. Cassim & Co. is an authorised Casio retailer. This watch comes with a 1-year international Casio warranty covering manufacturing defects, valid from the date of purchase. Warranty documentation and original packaging are included.
Q: Will the transparent resin yellow or discolour over time?
A: Casio's transparent resin formulations are designed to resist yellowing under normal wearing conditions. However, prolonged exposure to UV light, certain chemicals, or extreme temperatures may cause gradual discolouration over many years. This is characteristic of clear resin materials and does not affect functionality.
Q: Can I wear this watch daily or is it only for specific activities?
A: The DW-5600SKE-7DR is designed for daily wear. Its shock resistance, water resistance, and durable construction make it suitable for all environments — from office settings to outdoor activities. The transparent aesthetic offers versatility across casual and contemporary wardrobes.
Warranty
- This Casio G-Shock DW-5600SKE-7DR is covered by a 1-year international Casio warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Casio retailer, such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear, battery replacement, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case, bracelet, or crystal, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe water resistance limitations, damage caused by accidents, improper handling, or unauthorised repairs.
- Any servicing or repairs performed by non-authorised service centres will void the warranty.
- To claim warranty service, the original purchase receipt and warranty card must be presented.
- Cassim & Co. provides full after-sales support including battery replacements, bracelet adjustments, and technical service for all Casio watches purchased from us.
Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or sweat to prevent residue buildup on the transparent resin.
- Clean the case and bracelet periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners that may damage the resin or digital display.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or UV light when not wearing the watch, as this may contribute to gradual discolouration of transparent resin over time.
- Do not operate the buttons or crown when the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance seals.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures, magnetic fields, and strong chemicals when not in use.
- If the digital display becomes faint or functions slow, the battery may need replacement. Visit Cassim & Co. for authorised battery replacement service to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Although shock-resistant, avoid deliberate impacts or dropping the watch onto hard surfaces, as extreme forces may still cause damage.
- Ensure the watch is rinsed and dried thoroughly if exposed to mud, sand, or dirt, particularly around the buttons and case back.
- The LED backlight and alarm functions drain battery faster — use sparingly to maximise battery life between replacements.
