Ever since the first DW-5000C, G-SHOCK has been constantly setting new standards in innovative design, tough structure, and powerful modules. Now to mark the 2018 35th Anniversary of the G-SHOCK come the GMW-B5000, a full-metal G-SHOCK with a Connected engine, and the GMW-B5000TFG.
These models are full-metal versions the DW-5000 base model. The new GMW-B5000 Series represents a refinement of the hollow case structure to achieve an even higher level of shock resistance. Fine resin shock absorbers between the metal bezel and case created a shock resistant structure for a full-metal case. Innovative new band connections, which are components that are subjected to the strongest shock levels, add additional center lugs that lessen the load on the band pins. The soft resin band of the GMW-B5000 creates a more comfortable fit, and the screw back case, with a highly wear resistant diamond like coating (DLC), gives the watch a feeling of heft.
A film solar cell maintains display clarity and an STN-LCD ensures easy reading of display information, even from an angle. The text and main display layout of the face was painstakingly designed in a way to make it virtually identical to the original base model. Use of the latest-version engine achieves high-density component mounting without affecting the size of the finished timepiece. The external design and internal module advances packed into a full-metal configuration of the GMW-B5000 makes it a model that truly represents the promise of G-SHOCK.
To mark G-SHOCK's 35th Anniversary, this collection also includes the GMW-B5000TFG, which is a limited-edition gold ion-plated model that dresses up the full metal 5000 specs in a gorgeous gold color. This, along with a 35th Anniversary logo impressed on the back cover and special packaging, makes this model a great way to mark this momentous occasion.
Function-wise, these models are designed for outstanding timekeeping accuracy using Bluetooth® data communication and Multiband 6, which supports automatic time setting adjustment based on one of six time calibration signals around the globe. Time information can be acquired from an internet time server using the G-SHOCK Connected*1 app running on a smartphone.
Other functions include Tough Solar in combination with CASIO original power saving technology that delivers a stable supply of power, high-brightness Full Auto LED illumination, World Time, and more. The day of the week indicator can be configured for display in any of six different languages.*2 Multiband 6 supports automatic time setting adjustment based on one of six time calibration signals around the globe, which helps to ensure accurate timekeeping no matter where your travels take you.
Maintaining the original G-SHOCK concept, the exterior designs, structures, and modules of these models have been further improved and then packed into a full-metal configuration. This and more makes the GMW-B5000D a new brand masterpiece that promises new potential in the G-SHOCK's 2018 35th year.
