G Shock G-5600-1JF

This is my third 5600. To be exact, it's a G Shock G-5600-1JF. This watch is powered by solar cell. You can see the different between this watch and the new G -5600 is the power save indicator. The watch power save indicator is like an egg on the top left of the dial.

Like all the new G-5600, this watch also equip with the auto EL function. If I am not mistaken, this watch is for Japanese market.

Probably this watch is one of few G Shock breed that are still made in his homeland. This watch is made in Japan Y and has the 2597 module inside.
