G-SHOCK AWM-500GD-9A

First G-SHOCK, the brand that has constantly been testing the limits of timepiece toughness since 1983, released the GMW-B5000, an all-metal version that recreated the look of the very first G-SHOCK. Now comes the AWM-500 Series of new full-metal analog-digital models.

Based on the AW-500, G-SHOCK's first analog-digital combination timepiece that was released in 1989, these new full-metal models employ hard stainless steel material for their bezels and bands. Other features include screw-in backs and three-dimensional hour markers.

Functionwise, MULTIBAND 6 supports automatic time setting adjustment based on one of six time calibration signals around the globe for accurate timekeeping no matter where your travels take you. Other functions include Tough Solar in combination with CASIO original power-saving technology that delivers a stable supply of power, high-brightness Full Auto LED illumination, World Time, and more.
