Casio G-SHOCK Full Metal 5000 Series – Model GMW-BZ5000BD-1

A Next-Generation Full-Metal G-SHOCK, Blending Human Craftsmanship and AI Structural Innovation

The GMW-BZ5000BD-1 ushers in a new era for full-metal G-SHOCK timepieces. A direct descendant of the first-ever G-SHOCK, this model elevates the iconic 5000 Series through a breakthrough fusion of metallic engineering, shock-resistance data, and innovative generative design techniques developed between designers and AI.

Retaining the classic form of the original model, the GMW-BZ5000BD-1 introduces a newly developed exterior structure that extends the case all the way to the lugs. This enhanced design reduces shock transmission more effectively than previous full-metal models. Seen from the side, the watch reveals a sophisticated, modern shape that highlights its structural strength.

Inside, a resilient internal protector made of impact-absorbing resin temporarily deforms during shocks, ensuring the watch meets G-SHOCK’s rigorous durability standards. The stainless-steel case is paired with a black ion-plated bezel and black ion-plated band, reinforced with a screw-lock case back for superior sealing and toughness.
