Wristwatch with LED lighting from G-SHOCK
The DW-5000R-1A from G-SHOCK is one of our Japanese watches with an illuminated display. It is a modern homage to the very first G-SHOCK model from 1983. Technically revised, but almost true to the original in design. As before, the case is made of stainless steel. The strap has been copied exactly in terms of length and shape. Even the characteristic indentations are identical.
At the same time, the new edition sets a forward-looking example: the bezel and strap are now made of bio-based resin. The watch case has also been slightly modified. It now measures 42.3 millimetres instead of 41.6 millimetres. Ideal for G-SHOCK fans who want to wear style history on their wrist.
Advantages:
- Sustainable materials: bezel and strap made from bio-based resin
