Casio to Release G-SHOCK Full Metal Construction GMW-B5000 Series with Grid Design

TOKYO,March 19,2020 -- Casio Computer Co.,Ltd. announced today the release of a new addition to the full metal construction GMW-B5000 series that inherits the form of the first model of the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches. The new GMW-B5000CS features a laser-carved grid design.

The GMW-B5000 is an epoch-making series boasting an evolved exterior with full metal construction of all outer parts while maintaining the shape of the first G-SHOCK ever - the DW-5000C released in 1983 - and adding further advanced functionality thanks to radio wave reception,Tough Solar power system,and smartphone connectivity. Since the release of the GMW-B5000 in 2018,Casio has continued to create inventive color schemes and patterns using unique CMF* combinations,including black ion plating,aged finish,and camouflage design to ensure the design of the series continues to evolve.

In order to present G-SHOCK brand innovation while maintaining the heritage of that first model,the GMW-B5000CS features a grid design in the image of a time tunnel that connects the past with the future. A "near-future" design with prominent silver lines was forged by applying black ion plating finish to the bezel,band and buckle surface,while bringing out an underlying color scheme using a laser to carve out the latticed pattern.

The GMW-B5000CS is equipped with smartphone connectivity which allows automatic time correction to be performed four times a day and makes it easy to select cities for world time and adjust other settings easy and comes with other exceptionally practical features,including a high-luminosity full auto LED backlight.
