This model is equipped with advanced technology and is based on the original DW-5000 model, which featured a heavy metal case and screw back.
The full metal case makes it difficult for radio waves to pass through, which is disadvantageous for reception, and the screw back makes it heavy, but it also features Multiband 6, which receives standard radio waves from six stations around the world.
While strongly inheriting the DNA of the first model, it pursues even greater toughness.
The metal case and screw back are treated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) to enhance wear resistance.
In addition, the screw back is mirror-finished to create a high-quality feel.
In addition, the resin band is made of soft urethane, which provides a comfortable fit.
This is a special model that incorporates advanced technology into the original G-SHOCK design that was born in 1983, for an even more refined finish.
