    Up your game with some serious timekeeping. This GMW-B5000 timepiece is directly descended from the first-ever G-SHOCK, now clad in metal.

    The exceptional GMW-B5000TVB takes its inspiration from the virtual world. This watch is crafted in titanium to deliver a timepiece that is both strong and lightweight. Lug holes in the bezel reveal the case and fine resin buffering beneath for a design that moves style into the future. Geometric camouflage in black and brown ion plating meets incremental color finishing technology to capture the look of high-end virtual gear.

    Featuring numbers and specs laser-engraved on the bezel and band, the GMW-B5000TVB delivers high-spec gaming and sci-fi style for the real world.

    Geometric camouflage
    created with surface
    processing techniques

    The exterior design sports a motif evoking gear from the virtual world. We apply titanium carbide to the bezel and band, then add multiple layers of colored IP while masking certain areas to create silver, brown, and black geometric patterns in irregular combinations. Then we finish with laser-engraved markings to capture the look of high-end virtual gear down to the finest detail.

    Virtual reality world
    captured in full titanium
    construction

    The case, bezel, and band are made from light, strong pure titanium. Holes are bored into the lugs and band, and the bores in the lugs reveal the fine resin buffering component. An orange inlay accents the light button to give flair to the side view as well.

    Face design with
    a playful spirit

    While inheriting the iconic form of the very first G-SHOCK, we refashioned the watch face to complement the new exterior design, employing a negative LCD and a geometric pattern printed on the crystal in place of the standard brick pattern. Function indicators for each button are accompanied by laser-engraved markings that conjure caution signs.


    Truth to origin and constant innovation: Full metal shock-resistant structure

    Buffering components made of fine resin are installed between the stainless-steel bezel and case. With its metal exterior in the original form of the very first G-SHOCK, the watch makes the most of its shock-resistant structure.

    DLC coated screw-lock case back for a tight seal

    Like the very first G-SHOCK, the GMW-B5000TVB uses a screw-lock case back that ensures a tight seal. Made of titanium, it delivers both strength and lightness. The case back is coated in diamond-like carbon (DLC) to enhance abrasion resistance.

    *Image shows the GMW-B5000D-1.
    *Due to the screw-lock construction of the case back, the orientation of the logo and lettering on it may not match up perfectly with the dial.

    A fusion of strength and beauty.

    Bezel case

    After sculpting the form through repeated forging, cutting and polishing, artisans apply mirror polishing and hairline finishing to the surfaces in pursuit of flawless beauty. The case back surface is finely machined to remove any unevenness and assure an accurate fit with the cushioning parts.

    Extending attentive workmanship to unseen parts.

    Inner case

    After a process involving 10 or more forging and cutting steps, a complex form with integrated lugs and complicated shapes comprising various fitted and cushioning parts takes shape. Precision parts facilitating smooth, accurate assembly are produced.

    Maintaining G-SHOCK’s origins without change.

    Original square design

    The design of the first G-SHOCK model has been maintained continuously from the origin. Casio’s efforts in pursuit of universal usability have encompassed the structure with its undivided attention to shock resistance, the large LCD offering excellent visibility and the minimalist form that eschews any interference with wearing ease and comfort.

    Ongoing internal evolution.

    Progression to a new-generation engine

    G-SHOCK has introduced one pioneering functional innovation after another. These have included light functions to enhance the visibility of the dial, Tough Solar power supportings table operation of multiple functions, standard time radio wave reception for accurate timekeeping and Bluetooth® communications for versatile multi function control.
    The countless challenges we faced in our mission of functional evolution have now been overcome.
    The new GMW-B5000 represents the culmination of G-SHOCK’s solutions.

    The heart of a multi-function watch.

    LSI layout

    The mounting position of the standard time radio wave antenna is calculated to ensure stable radio reception sensitivity inside a full-metal case. In this and other ways, the highly precise LSI design has solved the problems associated with a metal exterior and multi-functionality.

    Breakthroughs in functional innovation.

    Dedicated design module

    We have leveraged our proprietary high-density mounting, miniaturization and power-saving technologies to install multiple functions without increasing the watch’s size. This innovative functional evolution has included such achievements as simultaneous installation of Bluetooth® communications and radio-controlled, solar-powered timekeeping.

    Challenging absolute accuracy.

    Bluetooth® + Radio-controlled, solar-powered timekeeping

    Time correction is conducted by either Bluetooth® communications or standard time radio wave (Multi Band 6), depending on the circumstances. Reception of the most recent time zone and Daylight Saving Time information assures that the correct time is displayed at all times.

    Evolving dial-lighting technologies.

    Full-auto LED backlight (Super Illuminator)

    An LED backlight illuminates the LCD with high-brightness light. It detects ambient light in the surroundings automatically, and switches on with a tilt of the wrist in the dark. New features such as fade in/out and white/orange lighting add further versatility.

    Advanced digital display.

    STN LCD

    An STN LCD has replaced the conventional TN LCD to take advantage of its higher contrast and wider viewing angle. The face, including the logo and function display, is completed in a design mirroring the layout of the first model.

    Enhanced visibility.

    Film solar panel

    The material employed for the solar panel has been changed from glass to an easily processed film. An aperture is opened in the center of the panel to suppress reflections of external light and improve the LCD’s visibility.

    Legacy of the universal ratio.

    Display aspect

    The LCD’s approximately 16:10 aspect ratio approaches the angle of human vision. Adopted in pursuit of clear visibility, this ratio has been handed down from one model to another since the origin to benefit from its closeness to the Golden Ratio, which is considered to represent the most beautiful proportions in nature.
