G-Shock DW-6900FS Ultraman series 40th Anniversary

The Ultraman series, actions heroes tv show are really famous amongst us especially ones from the 90's. We like to see how it justify bad monsters and we also imagine as us being being as tough of that interstellar being from another planet. Of course we couldn't be like it, a fiction action heroes but the memories of us trying to be like it is totally real. Our childhood dream as the dream itself is real. I don't know about you guys but me myself are used to be doing those kind of stuff. It is in fact really fun but as I grow up, all those memories seems to fade away, since we all have another distractions and a lot more important life task to think about. These things are inevitable, but for me the distractions aren't. As for me collecting is my new hobby currently especially things that are related to my childhood, I have lots of other stuff and this time I'll talk about my Casio G-Shock wrist watches collections.

I had been collecting G-Shock for a few years already, at first it is just as side hobby until one day I found about that there is a model that is related to one of my childhood memories; The Ultraman. I have talked about another model from Ultraman series in my previous post, but that was specifically on the character Ultraman Seven. This time is on the general topic about them, the model that I'm going to talk about is the

DW-6900FS Ultraman Series 40th Anniversary collaboration model

Again, this model was based on the most famous Casio G-Shock model line-up round model dw-6900, the dw-6900 engine with 1289 module. Pretty old and didn't provide lots of functions like the current model 3230 module engine. But I don't mind that, me personally won't be using any of that special function anyways. I just have them mainly as a collections, time telling and as a fashion accessories. In this collaboration, Casio G-Shock and Tsuburaya Production once again team up together and produce this really great looking time piece design.

Everything was only on a white coloured resin material at first look how ever if you own it by yourself, you'll know that this is isnt just like any other white basic model on the market. This particular model comes in a tint white colour and that means it is slightly grey and not just plain white. Me personally, I like white base colours in general and I found this model is really unique to be put in one of my collections. I got this model from current market recently at a quite high price but it takes to keep our childhood back, so it is fine. Okay, enough of all these nostalgic thoughts. LOL. Moving on.

The box of this model also comes in the same shades of white as the watch band & bezel with some simple printings of 'G-Shock Ultraman Series 40th Anniversary' and some orange-red line pattern which is the same pattern as on the Ultraman body suit. Simple & straight to the point. Next, the face of the watch, all in the same orange shades and have the 'Ultraman 40th Anniv.' words written on top of it and the EL backlight will pops up the image of iconic image of any Ultraman during their transformation process. Which is the top view of them as they grew larger and flying facing towards the screen.

Both of this watch bands has printed designs on. The bottom one have a quick biography of Ultraman. Specifically,

Flying speed : Mach 5
Running speed : 450 km/h
Swimming speed : 120 knot

Jumping ability : 800m

Height : 40m
Weight : 35,000 t
Origin : Nebula M78

Then the upper band have the iconic orange stripes which is the same as the box and also the same pattern on Ultraman body and have the word 'ウルトラマン' which reads 'ultraman' on it. All is made out from resin base material. The silver stainless steel buckle is made by Casio Japan and the back plate also have the same properties. Looking closer to the back plate, they engraved the "Ultraman 40th. Anniversary" wordings on it.

As usual, I also had made the unboxing video of this legendary model. Watch below,

This model was released with limited production units of 1000 worldwide and was sold only in Japan in a websites by Tsuburaya Productions. The retail price upon it released is just about 13,650¥ (with tax). And as expected this model market will sky rocket up way high from the original price. Last time I checked, it was sold 7 to 8 times higher!. Legendary collaboration model is legendary!. As I mention earlier, I also got mine at roughly the same price as that. I'm gonna take a good care of this model surely. 

Alright, that's all I got for now.

Thank you for visiting.
