Adding new originality to two iconic G-SHOCK watches: Full-metal design now accented with vibrant blue

Introducing two G-SHOCK masterpieces with the emblematic streamlined form of the very first model, yet with full-metal exteriors, now featuring striking accents of vibrant blue. Beautiful metallic hues realised with vapour deposition applied to the glass on one model and the dial on the other express a captivating, blue-toned look. Nicely complementing the full-metal exteriors, the accents add a feel of effortless refinement to the solid, toughness-driven design.

Blue accents to complement the metal exteriors

Vibrant blue adorns the dial of the GM-B2100AD and the perimeter of the face of the GMW-B5000D. The distinctive metallic tone produced by the vapour deposition pleasantly complements the silver gleam of the full-metal exterior to add a stylish flair to the wrist. From formal to sporty to casual, these watches coordinate nicely with wardrobes of all kinds.

Dial finishes for a look of intricate refinement

Dual-layer dial construction is employed to present the inset dial and LCD portion with distinct finishes of their own. With a minute grind-mark finish and vapour deposition applied to the inset dial ring and more, precision die moulding technologies applied by Yamagata Casio deliver meticulously detailed surface finishes. In addition, vapour deposition applied to the dimensional index marks and the indicator hand emphasises the metallic texture, creating a dial design that complements the watch’s metal exterior.

Full-metal shock-resistant structure: Staying true to origins and constantly innovating

Buffering components made of fine resin are installed between the stainless-steel bezel and case. The shock-resistant structure maintained since the very first G-SHOCK is achieved in a timepiece with a metal exterior. Also, a three-pronged structure is employed for the connective part of the band to disperse shocks to the connecting pipes. Dimpling is applied to metal band pieces to reproduce the look of the resin band design of the very first G-SHOCK. The case back features a screw-lock construction that ensures a tight seal.

Forged bezel and case: Crafted with a passion for refinement down to the finest details

The bezel and case undergo meticulous processes of forging, cutting, and polishing, precisely crafting them into robust, powerful forms, down to the intricately shaped back, which is the key to the precision fit. A hairline finish is applied to the bezel top and a mirror finish to the bevelled edges to maximise the textural appeal of the metal.
