The Casio G-Shock Lovers Collection 1996 and 1997 models are among the most distinctive Japan-exclusive G-Shocks ever produced. Originally released in the mid-90s as part of Casio’s annual Lovers Collection series, these watches combine the rugged durability of the DW-6600 “Codename” design with unique romantic and fantasy themes rarely seen elsewhere in the G-Shock range.

The 1996 edition, known for its “Sealed with a Kiss” embroidered strap patch and crisp white nylon band, symbolises connection and communication. The 1997 follow-up, “Light My Fire” and “Cast a Spell,” features mythical creatures — Pegasus and Griffon — subtly displayed on the straps and illuminated in the backlight. Both models highlight Casio’s experimental approach during the golden age of G-Shock design.
