Experience the evolution of the first G-SHOCK with the new GW-5000, a modern reinterpretation of the legendary DW-5000C that made history in 1983. This new generation retains the unbreakable essence of the original, now with cutting-edge technology and a monochromatic style that commands attention.
Classic design. Cutting-edge technology.
Solar-powered radio-controlled timekeeping ensures total accuracy, while its metal case with screw-down back and design faithful to the original model continue to define that unmistakable G-SHOCK character.
More resistant. More sustainable.
Resistance is taken to the next level with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, which reinforces durability and adds an elegant mirror finish to the case back. In addition, its main components — including the case and strap — are made from bio-based resin, reaffirming its commitment to the environment.
The legacy continues. You wear it.
