G-Shock announced its fifth NASA-themed watch this month.
The limited edition GW6900NASA241 is inspired by both the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Casio’s iconic calculators.
G-Shock states, “The GW6900NASA241 commemorates Casio’s five decades of historic watchmaking while showcasing its ongoing pursuit of innovation and discovery that align with NASA’s mission. With space exploration relying on the principles of physics and mathematics, Casio’s commitment to accurate timekeeping and advanced engineering mirrors NASA’s ambitious endeavors.”
As a nod to the essential elements of space exploration and the G-Shock brand, the equations of “gravity” and “impact” are intricately incorporated into the caseback and EL backlight graphic of the GW6900NASA241.
The 6900 series case is made of black resin, measures 50 mm × 17.7 mm (53.3 mm lug-to-lug), weighs 63 grams, and the text around the dial features red, yellow, and blue accents — reminiscent of the buttons on classic Casio calculators.

- Shock Resistance
