G-SHOCK, which has been constantly pushing the limits of timekeeping toughness since 1983, is pleased to announce a new SHICHI-FUKU-JIN (Seven Lucky Gods) Series of special model watches.
The Hotei model is based on the DW-5600, taking on the form of G-SHOCK when it originated. On top of a base gray color, the strap and case feature depictions of Hotei’s staff and bag, as well as a pine tree pattern. The design on the watch strap keeper is of a folding fan, another of the god’s possessions. The Hotei model is based on the theme of a god that invites good luck.
He had been named Hotei that came from having a big bag with foods etc. in it. He was the only existed person in the Seven Deities of Good Fortune, and the Zen-monk Kaishi in Tang was his model. “Fortune comes to a merry”, “the Marital harmony” and “Children” are given because he had always been living with a smile.
