Albino & Preto has tailored the beloved watch design to its own palette. The label enhanced it with the inclusion of fluorescent yellow touches on different components of this watch. These vibrant accents are noticeable on the dial, the “G” light button, and the band.

This association is a tribute to the ethos of "ABSOLUTE TOUGHNESS." The rugged timepiece weighs only 72 grams while boasting a shock-resistant resin construction.

This collaborative piece also features a 20-bar water resistance, a 1/100-second stopwatch, and an automatic calendar. This watch stands out not only for its striking yellow accents but also for featuring the A&P logo on both the watch's face and lower band.

At the back, one will find more than just a standard backcase. Albino & Preto has engraved their logo alongside the powerful mantra, "THEY SLEEP. WE TRAIN." This philosophy emphasizes the values of hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment to one's craft.

Adding to its uniqueness is the special reverse EL backlight, ensuring that the watch stands out even in low-light conditions. Whether you're in the gym or conquering outdoor adventures, the Casio DW6900APC23-1 from A&P proves to be a versatile companion. It's not just a watch; it's a statement piece that aligns with an active lifestyle, embodying the spirit of resilience and toughness.

To complete the package, A&P presents specially designed tin and outer packaging featuring their logo and G-SHOCK's motto of "ABSOLUTE TOUGHNESS." It's a collector's item that not only delivers on style but also pays homage to the rugged functionality of G-SHOCK.
