A very special addition to the GMW-B5000 line, the original full metal take on the first-ever G-SHOCK.

This unique design features a unique camouflage pattern abstracted from the circuitry of the no. 3459 module of the GMW-B5000. The pattern is rendered in black ion plating and laser engraving, which is applied both before and after the ion plating to create the impression of shading for a pattern of depth and dimension.

Made with TranTixxii® titanium alloy developed by Nippon Steel Corporation, this timepiece delivers titanium’s lightweight comfort against the skin, and roughly twice the surface hardness of conventional titanium, for a mirror-finish beauty comparable to stainless steel.

A camouflage design incorporating patterns from the actual circuitry of the module decorates the bezel and band. Laser engraving applied both prior and subsequent to the black IP creates impressions of shading to achieve a sense of depth in the pattern. Meticulous attention to detail has gone into the watch design, with laser engraving extending to the sides of the bezel, the buckle, and more.

External components are made with the TranTixxii^® titanium alloy developed by Nippon Steel Corporation. While retaining titanium’s lightweight and rust-resistant properties, it delivers roughly twice the surface hardness of conventional titanium. Although it has typically been difficult to apply mirror finishes to titanium, this material makes it possible to produce polished surfaces with a high degree of smoothness, down to the most challenging spots in the watch’s complex form.
