Description:
The GW-5000HS-1JF honors the legacy of the original 1983 G-SHOCK DW-5000C, evolving its iconic design with modern solar and radio-controlled timekeeping. This Heritage Series model faithfully reproduces the metal case, screw-lock back, and brick-pattern face design of the original, while measuring 48.9 × 42.8 × 13.5 mm and weighing 74 g for substantial durability and refined presence.
The bezel and band feature eco-conscious biomass plastic, while the metal case and screw-back are treated with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating to enhance wear resistance. A mirror-finished screw-back elevates the premium aesthetic. Tough Solar combined with Multi-Band 6 (Japan, North America, Europe, China, UK, Middle East) delivers approximately 10 months of operation on full charge, or up to 22 months in power-save mode. The negative LCD display and Super Illuminator LED ensure visibility in low-light conditions, while manufacturing at Yamagata Casio—the birthplace of the original G-SHOCK—affirms Japanese craftsmanship and heritage.
