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, decades of shock-resistance data, and innovative generative design co-developed by human designers and AI.
Retaining the classic square 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 advanced construction reduces shock transmission more effectively than previous full-metal designs. Viewed from the side, the watch reveals a refined, modern silhouette that visually expresses 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 band, reinforced by a screw-lock case back for superior sealing and toughness.
Design Overview
- Full-metal evolution of the iconic 5000 lineage
- Co-created with human designers and AI using 40+ years of shock-resistance data
- Newly engineered structure connecting case to lugs for enhanced shock mitigation
- Resin internal protector to absorb impact

MIP LCD (Memory in Pixel) Display
MIP LCD breaks new ground in digital expression
The digital display employs a high-precision, high-contrast MIP LCD with a wide viewing angle. This enables more detailed rendering than conventional LCD displays, delivering outstanding readability even in bright outdoor spaces and direct sunlight. The newly developed MIP LCD can be powered entirely by solar energy.
The high-definition full-dot display, with memory embedded in each pixel, allows users to switch between four TIME MODE displays with the touch of a button. Additionally, via the app, the main display font can be changed from STANDARD to CLASSIC, recreating a traditional 7-segment digital look.
