From G-SHOCK, the toughness watches that continue to evolve in search of ultimate strength, this digital-analog combination model inherits the concept of the first-generation DW-5000C models, while being even thinner.
Inherits the octagonal shape that was also used in the first-generation DW-5000C model. A combination model developed with a simple design that eliminates waste while maintaining a tough structure.
Also achieves a thickness of 11.8 mm thanks to a highly rigid fine resin containing carbon fiber for the case material.
Uses a characteristic G-SHOCK blackout color.

Go sleek, sharp and bold with a G-SHOCK standard-bearer in a metal-clad octagonal take on the original iconic design.
Forged in stainless steel with rounded hairline finish, the strong bezel says super style all the way. The dial is treated with vapor deposition finish for a meticulously detailed metallic look that suits a classic metal G-SHOCK timepiece. Incremental variations in the detailed square dot texturing on the wristband take casual urethane materials up a notch. 

The bezel adopts the octagonal design motif the G-SHOCK has featured since the very first watch. Undergoing painstaking processes of forging, cutting and polishing, the bezel is precisely crafted — from its intricately shaped face to the form of its back, which is the key to the precision fit it makes with the inner case. A round hairline finish is applied to the top surface and a mirror polish to the sides, giving the bezel a beautiful gleam.

We achieved shock resistance with the bare minimum case thickness by adopting a metal-clad shock-resistant structure. Optimised, high-density mounting of the circuit board structure made it possible to slim the module even further. The result is an exceptionally slim design for an analogue-digital combination model with a metal case and a comfortable fit on the wrist.
