Casio revives the DW-6900 for its latest World Cup collaboration with F.C. Real Bristol
With the FIFA World Cup 2026 entering its last leg, Casio and the Japanese fashion label F.C. Real Bristol have released a new limited edition G-Shock celebrating the world's largest football festival.

Every four years, Casio teams up with F.C. Real Bristol (F.C.R.B.), the fictional football club and fashion label from Japanese streetwear brand SOPH., to release a limited-edition watch celebrating the football World Cup. With the 2026 tournament now entering its final stretch, the duo has unveiled their fifth collaboration in the form of the F.C. Real Bristol x G-Shock DW-6900.

Similar to previous installments, this is a limited-edition release, with just 2,026 pieces being produced. The concept imagines F.C.R.B. winning a global football tour before being presented with a championship-worthy G-Shock.

The 2026 release is based on the DW-6900, which notably served as the foundation for the 2018 edition as well—the 2010 and 2014 editions were based on the DW-5600, while the 2022 collab used DW-5750 as the base.

As you can see in the images, the watch features the familiar matte black resin case paired with a beige-tinged off-white dial inspired by the faded look of vintage digital watches, with the signature F.C.R.B. logo appearing in bright red above the display.

The triple graph layout sits above the main display, while "FOOTBALL IS BEAUTIFUL" is printed towards the bottom. Activating the blue EL backlight reveals the Bristol emblem in red, which, combined with the blue illumination and off-white dial, forms a tricolor motif representing this season's collection.

Finally, the stainless steel case back is engraved with the Bristol crest along with the year 2026. The watch arrives in a custom green presentation box, with the F.C. Real Bristol logo printed in gold.

The watch officially goes on sale in Japan on July 17 for ¥23,100 (~$142) via SOPH. stores and at soph.net. Global shipping is available through Worldshopping. It's not clear if the watch will make its formal debut in markets outside Japan.
