Enhance your style with some seriously sophisticated timekeeping from the 5000 line. Directly descended from the first-ever G-SHOCK , the GMW-BZ5000 carries on the evolution of function and material in a transformative, unprecedented design.

Welcome to a new chapter in full-metal G-SHOCK watches. Tapping into shock-resistance data gathered over 40 years of G-SHOCK testing, we delved into co-creation between human designers and AI to find all-new methods of generative structural and exterior design.

We kept the iconic form of the original G-SHOCK, while developing a new structure that extends the case all the way to the lugs to even further mitigate shock transmission. The intricate, modern shape, seen from the side, highlights the design’s structural beauty. An internal protector made of resilient resin temporarily deforms to absorb shocks, achieving a timepiece with a full-metal exterior that meets G-SHOCK shock-resistance standards. The stainless-steel case employs a screw-lock case back to ensure a tight seal.

Additionally, to make solar-powered operation possible for the high-definition, full-dot MIP LCD with memory embedded in each pixel — a display commonly used in G-SHOCK sports models — we developed a more energy-efficient version. This new display offers a total of eight different display styles: you can choose from two distinct styles — the easy-read STANDARD and CLASSIC for a traditional 7-segment look — across four display modes. The display employs a high-precision, high-contrast MIP LCD with a wide viewing angle that not only charges from ambient light — sunlight or even fluorescent lamp light — but enables more detailed rendering for outstanding readability even in bright outdoor spaces and direct sunlight.

The time mode display layout carries on the look of the first-ever G-SHOCK, with traditional styling taking on advanced functionality. Download the CASIO WATCHES app to pair with your smartphone via Bluetooth®. With Multiband 6, Tough Solar charging system, and high-brightness LED light, you have complete practical utility at your fingertips.

This new chapter in G-SHOCK is crafted at Yamagata Casio, the “mother factory” where the original G-SHOCK story was written.

Carrying on the spirit of toughness: A whole-new full-metal shock-resistant structure

A new approach to design refines the conventional G-SHOCK structure, in which the bezel fully covered the center case. In the newly developed structure, the bezel and the center case are connected at the top and bottom, while an internal protector made of resilient resin temporarily deforms to absorb shocks, achieving a timepiece with a full-metal exterior that meets G-SHOCK shock-resistance standards.

The side view of intricately shaped, interlocking metal components, front screws that secure the bezel and center case, and other details come together to achieve an exterior look unlike any other G-SHOCK. While the front view, with the angular form of the original G-SHOCK, remains unchanged, this is a whole new style of full-metal G-SHOCK. To develop this new design, artificial intelligence was utilized for in-depth analysis and simulations based on years of shock-resistance data gathered from G-SHOCK testing, as well as for optimizing 3D modelling of individual components.

The GMW-BZ5000 features the same screw-lock case back as the very first G-SHOCK and employs the three-pronged lug band connection whose strength was proven in the GMW-B5000.

Metal processing technologies deliver intricately molded shapes

The exterior design of the first-ever G-SHOCK is faithfully reproduced in fine detail, from the combination of flat and curved surfaces to differences in height, grooves, depressions, and protrusions, even to the dimpled texture of the original band. The introduction of front screws allows the bezel dimples to be constructed as separate components, which also serve to connect the exterior parts.

The new bezel and center case design creates a unified overall form with intricate shapes, like lug holes and side notches, that interlock. The complexity of these components, many of which match with intricate counterparts, requires a high degree of precision. They require a great deal of time and effort in the manufacturing process, with forging, cutting, and polishing repeated dozens of times.

Additionally, each individual component is treated with separate hairline and mirror finishes to highlight the metal watch’s textural sophistication. The result is a commanding full-metal presence that conveys both strength and beauty.

MIP LCD breaks new ground in digital expression

The digital display employs a high-precision, high-contrast MIP LCD with a wide viewing angle. This enables more detailed rendering than conventional LCD displays, delivering outstanding readability even in bright outdoor spaces and direct sunlight. The newly developed MIP can be powered entirely by solar. The high-definition full-dot display, with memory embedded in each pixel, allows the user to switch between four TIME MODE displays with the touch of a button, and, via the app, to change the main display font from STANDARD to CLASSIC for a traditional 7-segment look.

Type A: Dual time display
Type B: Date + day
Type C: Year + date + day
Type D: Triple time display

Two-tone finish showcasing the new exterior structure

The new full-metal exterior is treated to a two-tone finish that highlights the precision interlocking of the bezel and center case. The two tones give the front and sides each a distinct appearance for an innovative new look.

Available in three colours: silver, black, and gold. The black and gold models are ion plated for excellent abrasion resistance. The beauty of a shimmering full-metal look, and its strength and hard texture, pair equally well with formal fashions and casual styles.

Made in Japan

Manufactured at Yamagata Casio, the plant that produced the first-ever G-SHOCK, this “Made in Japan” timepiece carries on the legacy of the original G-SHOCK.
