Casio has released two new all-metal G-Shock watches in the US: the GMW-B5000D-1C and the GM-B2100SD-1C. Both models are based on classic G-Shock designs and are made in Japan at Casio’s Yamagata factory.
The GMW-B5000D-1C follows the original DW-5000C. It features the same brick pattern, “SHOCK RESIST” logo, and layout. The watch has a full-metal body with a stainless-steel bezel and case. Fine resin buffers are placed between the bezel and case to absorb impact. A three-pronged lug design helps spread shocks across the connecting pipes. The case back uses a screw-lock structure for a tight seal. It supports solar-powered timekeeping and comes with Bluetooth and radio control for better accuracy. The Super Illuminator ensures visibility in the dark.
The GM-B2100SD-1C has a black dial with red, yellow, and blue accents. These colors are taken from the first G-Shock, symbolizing shock resistance, water resistance, and boldness. The watch has an octagonal bezel and a finely textured dial with grind-mark finishing and vapor deposition. Like the 5000 series, it also includes fine resin buffers between the bezel and case, a three-pronged band structure, and a screw-lock case back.
Both models use a forging, cutting, and polishing process to shape the bezel and case. The bezel top has a brushed finish, and the beveled edges are polished for contrast. The metal bands feature dimples to match the look of the original resin bands.
Pricing & availability
The GMW-B5000D-1C and GM-B2100SD-1C are priced at $550 each and are available now on Casio USA’s website.
