CASIO G-SHOCK FULL METAL GMW-B5000SS-2JR CASIO WATCH 50TH ANNIVERSARY
The CASIO G-SHOCK GMW-B5000SS-2JR commemorates the 50th anniversary of CASIO watches with a special blue-and-gold design inspired by the changing colors of the sky and sea. Based on the iconic FULL METAL 5000 SERIES, this Japanese domestic-market limited model combines anniversary detailing with Tough Solar power, MULTIBAND 6 radio control and Bluetooth smartphone connectivity.
Blue and Gold Anniversary Design
The stainless steel bezel features blue ion plating across its upper surface, while gold ion plating adds contrast to the side buttons. A gold vapor-deposited fluted pattern surrounds the digital display, referencing the distinctive panel-cover design of the original Casiotron released in 1974.
The combination of blue and gold represents scenes of the sky and sea illuminated by light, expressing both the history of CASIO watches and the brand’s continuing evolution.
50th Anniversary Case Back
The stainless steel screw-lock case back is treated with a wear-resistant DLC coating and engraved with a special 50th anniversary logo. Its design also incorporates visual inspiration from the original Casiotron.
Bicolor Metal Bracelet
The solid stainless steel bracelet is fitted with a one-touch three-fold clasp. Silver and gold finishes are combined on the clasp, with the inner gold section featuring a triangular anniversary pattern and “50th Anniversary” engraving.
FULL METAL Shock-Resistant Construction
Fine-resin cushioning components are installed between the stainless steel bezel and case, allowing the watch to retain G-SHOCK’s shock-resistant structure within a full-metal exterior. A three-pronged bracelet connection distributes impacts applied to the connecting pipes.
Tough Solar and MULTIBAND 6
Tough Solar technology converts light into electrical energy and supports the watch’s radio-controlled and Bluetooth functions. MULTIBAND 6 receives standard time-calibration signals in Japan, North America, the United Kingdom, Germany and China, subject to local reception conditions.
When fully charged, the watch operates for approximately 10 months without additional light exposure or approximately 22 months with power saving activated.
Bluetooth Smartphone Link
Bluetooth connectivity links the watch with the CASIO WATCHES app for automatic time adjustment, simplified watch settings, world-time configuration, reminder functions, time-and-place records and phone finder operation.
The watch can also operate independently with an accuracy of approximately ±15 seconds per month when neither radio reception nor smartphone connection is available.
Digital Timing Functions
The GMW-B5000SS-2JR provides world time for 39 cities and UTC, a 24-hour stopwatch, a 24-hour countdown timer, five daily alarms and a full-auto calendar. Its white full-auto LED Super Illuminator offers selectable two- or four-second illumination with fade-in and fade-out effects.
