The original Full Metal steel G-Shock gets a stealthy new finish
Explore an intense texture crafted in an array of fine finishes on a black metal canvas. Introducing the GMW-B5000, a true heir to the first-ever G-SHOCK in a multi-finish black metal design.
The art of timepiece finishes is on full display with this watch. Honing finishes feature prominently on the bezel and band, with sides treated in a hairline finish and beveled band surfaces, screws and buttons treated in a mirror finish. The entire watch is then coated in black ion plating.
Finally, the top surface of the bezel is polished once again in a hairline finish to expose nearly all of the stainless steel beneath the ion plating.
Ion plating one shade lighter than conventional black integrates the re-exposed stainless steel of the bezel seamlessly into the overall design for a sophisticated, well-balanced, and singularly intriguing timepiece.
