Based on the "GMW-B5000D," inheriting the DNA of the first-generation G-SHOCK

The G-SHOCK "GMW-B5000V" reproduces a unique texture that suggests years of use. This special model is based on the "GMW-B5000D," released in 2018, which adopted stainless steel for all exterior materials while inheriting the details of the first-generation G-SHOCK.

A black IP treatment is applied to the surface of the case and band, with parts intentionally removed to create a tasteful finish. This aged treatment applied to a G-SHOCK masterpiece expresses a toughness spirit that endures through time.

In terms of functionality, similar to the base model "GMW-B5000D," it is equipped with Bluetooth communication and Multi-Band 6 radio wave reception. It also features a high-brightness full-auto LED backlight and world time functions.
