The DW-5000C is the original G-SHOCK model from 1983.

The GMW-B5000 Series has inherited its characteristic square design and been given the full metal treatment along with upgraded features including smartphone linking. The watch has been given a full-metal case by using a shock-resistant fine resin cushioning material inserted between the case and the sturdy stainless steel metal bezel.

High-density mounting technology also allows the watch to maintain its size. Ion plating has been applied to metal components like the case, clasp and band ring to achieve a beautiful colour. The back of the watch features a solid Screw Lock Back and has been DLC treated for resistance to wear. The fit of the band has also been improved through the use of a soft urethane material.

Visibility too has been enhanced via use of a film solar cell and STN-LCD (liquid crystal). Function-wise, this model comes with Bluetooth® communications and can link with a dedicated app to obtain precise time information.

The watch is also packed with practical features including a time correction system that uses standard time and frequency signals (Multi-Band 6), a reliable source of power in the form of Tough Solar technology, high-luminance Full Auto LED backlighting, World Time and day of the week display in six languages.

This is a G-SHOCK model that stays true to its predecessor while undergoing further refinement through the application of a full-metal design.
