G-SHOCK MUDMAN GW-9500 | July 2023

A slimmer profile, with enhanced readability and ease of use: MUDMAN with a duplex LCD

Designed to withstand extreme conditions, from rescue missions to wilderness survival, the MUDMAN has now evolved to incorporate a new construction and functions. While maintaining the original characteristic toughness of the dust- and mud-resistant structure, the new watch offers the slimmest profile possible, to deliver a highly comfortable fit. It also employs a dual-layer LCD to enhance the readability of the digital compass. In design and functionality alike, this MUDMAN is an embodiment of the practical utility needed to meet the demands of professional use.

Tough design to stand up to demanding use: Inspired by professional gear

Inspired by professional gear built to perform in the harshest conditions, the solid, rugged design delivers strength, slimness, and ease of use. Reduced bezel height is achieved by cutting the glass and employing a new glass adhesion method, while the Carbon Core Guard structure ensures high rigidity to realise a slimmer, more compact form. Even while incorporating Triple Sensor technology and a dual-layer LCD, the case measures just 14.8 mm slim. The multi-component protector and independent front button give the watch a sense of presence with an even greater look of toughness.

Duplex LCD: Delivering improved compass readability

As a tool useful in survival situations, the utility of the digital compass has been enhanced. The dual-layer LCD allows compass graphics to be shown on the top layer, while the bottom layer offers a large display of the time and various measurements. The LCD has also been made slimmer to minimise bulk, even while being dual-layer. The use of a negative LCD with a dual-layer construction is a first for the G-SHOCK, as well.

Mud-resistant construction: Supporting activities in harsh conditions

The front button and three direct sensor buttons are protected by cylindrical stainless-steel parts and feature large, easy-to-operate forms designed to keep mud and water out. The button shafts are also equipped with gasket fittings to prevent contamination with mud and dust.

Iconic MUDMAN character: Dynamically engraved on the case back

The iconic MUDMAN mole character is engraved on the case back. The updated design expresses the new evolution of the MUDMAN series.

Bio-based resins

The case, bezel, and soft urethane band are made with bio-based resins. Produced using renewable organic resources such as castor oil plants and corn, this material is expected to help reduce environmental impact.
