Casio G-SHOCK – 40th Anniversary RECRYSTALLIZED Limited Edition 5000 Series Full Metal Solar GMWB5000PS-1

Description

Add a definitive, solid statement to your style with a G-SHOCK 40th Anniversary Recrystallized limited-edition timepiece.

We mark this anniversary with the GMWB5000PS — an addition to the line of GMWB5000 full-metal takes on the very first G-SHOCK, the DW5000, which debuted 40 years ago in April 1983. The limited-edition timepiece is clad in recrystallized and deep-layer hardened stainless steel developed with this run in mind.

Following recrystallization and deep-layer hardening, the bezel and band are treated with titanium carbide (TiC) coating and the screw-lock case back with DLC coating for a bold, radiant look. In a special nod to the DW5000, the dial features the phrase “SINCE 1983.”

The case back is engraved with the Eric Haze-designed 40th logo, and the lower left button is engraved with a star, for a timepiece that crystallizes the G-SHOCK 40th anniversary celebration.

*The stainless steel is processed into components and then recrystallized, yielding unique differences in crystalline grain. This makes the pattern, color tone, and luster differ subtly from part to part.
