THE FULL METAL
AWM500GD-4A
Introducing the newest model of this GOLD INGOT motif series is the AWM500GD-4A based on the AW500, which is the first analog-digital G-SHOCK. The case and bezel of this model is the first in the G-SHOCK lineup to feature a rose gold ion plate finish. The dial of the AWM500GD-4A also has a vapor-deposition finish, which gives it the texture of metal.
Features
Analog Dial
From variant hand shapes to decorative letters and numerals, design features of the first-generation analog model are reproduced in the AWM-500. Treated with a vapor deposition process, the dimensional index nicely matches the watch’s metal exterior.
Solid Stainless Steel Band
The band features three-dimensional curvature up to the third increment. The original resin band’s design is reproduced in metal, with its curved form lending a sense of unified identity with the case.
Hairline and Mirror Finishes
The watch features both line and round hairline finishes, as well as a mirror finish. Each finishing is applied to components on an individual basis to highlight their metallic textures.
Full Metal Shock-Resistant Structure
Shock absorbing structure components made of fine resin are installed between the bezel and case. With its metal exterior in the original form of the first analog model, the watch realizes a shock-resistant structure.
Solar Panels with Shadow-dispersing Solar Panel
Converting light to energy, solar panels ensure stable operation of features such as signal reception. Even while the dial’s rate of light transmittance may be low, the watch achieves the guarantee of sufficient electric power along with greater freedom in face design.
Double High-brightness LED Lights
LED lights with high luminance brightly illuminate the dial and LCD to ensure visibility in dimly lit locations. With the watch’s ability to sense light and darkness, a simple slant of the wrist will engage the LED lights.
SHOCK RESISTANT
Shock-resistant construction protects against impact and vibration.
