Introducing the new era of refinement — the 5000 line reimagined. Elevate your look with precision engineering that defines sophistication. The GMW-BZ5000 continues the legacy of the very first G-SHOCK, evolving both function and form into something truly transformative. Welcome to the next generation of full-metal G-SHOCK. Drawing on over 40 years of shock-resistance expertise, our designers joined forces with AI to pioneer new generative techniques in structure and style — pushing boundaries once thought unbreakable. We’ve preserved the iconic profile of the original G-SHOCK while extending the case design seamlessly into the lugs, further minimising shock transmission. Viewed from the side, the intricate silhouette reveals the structural artistry behind the build. Inside, a durable resin protector flexes under impact to absorb shocks, maintaining the full-metal integrity that meets G-SHOCK’s legendary standards. Crafted in titanium with a screw-lock case back, the watch achieves an airtight seal for complete resilience. To power the high-definition, full-dot MIP LCD display — with memory in every pixel — we developed a new energy-efficient solar system. This innovation allows for eight distinct display styles, including two main looks: STANDARD, for effortless legibility, and CLASSIC, for a nod to vintage digital design. The advanced MIP LCD ensures sharp contrast, a wide viewing angle, and excellent readability in bright sunlight or under indoor light — all while drawing power from ambient light sources. The display layout echoes the first-ever G-SHOCK, blending heritage with innovation. Connect via Bluetooth® using the CASIO WATCHES app for seamless smartphone pairing. With Multiband 6, Tough Solar, and a high-brightness LED light, you’re equipped with everyday practicality backed by uncompromising performance. Every GMW-BZ5000 is crafted at Yamagata Casio, the birthplace of G-SHOCK — where tradition and technology continue to evolve.

FEATURES
Carrying on the spirit of toughness: Full-metal shock-resistant structure
A new approach to design refines the conventional G-SHOCK structure, in which the bezel fully covered the center case. In the newly developed structure, the bezel and the center case are connected at the top and bottom, while an internal protector made of resilient resin temporarily deforms to absorb shocks, achieving a timepiece with a full-metal exterior that meets G-SHOCK shock-resistance standards.
The side view of intricately shaped, interlocking metal components, front screws that secure the bezel and center case, and other details come together to achieve an exterior look unlike any other G-SHOCK. While the front view, with the angular form of the original G-SHOCK, remains unchanged, this is a whole new style of full-metal G-SHOCK. To develop this new design, artificial intelligence was utilized for in-depth analysis and simulations based on years of shock-resistance data gathered from G-SHOCK testing, as well as for optimizing 3D modelling of individual components.
The GMW-BZ5000 features the same screw-lock case back as the very first G-SHOCK and employs the three-pronged lug band connection whose strength was proven in the GMW-B5000.

Metal processing technologies deliver intricately molded shapes
The exterior design of the first-ever G-SHOCK is faithfully reproduced in fine detail, from the combination of flat and curved surfaces to differences in height, grooves, depressions, and protrusions, even to the dimpled texture of the original band. The introduction of front screws allows the bezel dimples to be constructed as separate components, which also serve to connect the exterior parts.
The new bezel and center case design creates a unified overall form with intricate shapes, like lug holes and side notches, that interlock. The complexity of these components, many of which match with intricate counterparts, requires a high degree of precision. They require a great deal of time and effort in the manufacturing process, with forging, cutting, and polishing repeated dozens of times.
Additionally, each individual component is treated with separate hairline and mirror finishes to highlight the metal watch’s textural sophistication. The result is a commanding full-metal presence that conveys both strength and beauty.
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 can be powered entirely by solar. The high-definition full-dot display, with memory embedded in each pixel, allows the user to switch between four TIME MODE displays with the touch of a button, and, via the app, to change the main display font from STANDARD to CLASSIC for a traditional 7-segment look.

Two-tone finish showcasing the new exterior structure
The new full-metal exterior is treated to a two-tone finish that highlights the precision interlocking of the bezel and center case. The two tones give the front and sides each a distinct appearance for an innovative new look.
Available in three colors: silver, black, and gold. The black and gold models are ion plated for excellent abrasion resistance. The beauty of a shimmering full-metal look, and its strength and hard texture, pair equally well with formal fashions and casual styles.
Made in Japan
Manufactured at Yamagata Casio, the plant that produced the first-ever G-SHOCK, this “Made in Japan” timepiece carries on the legacy of the original G-SHOCK.
Solar-powered radio control with Bluetooth®
Smartphone Link and radio-wave time calibration deliver automatically adjusted precision timekeeping. Solar-power charging ensures stable operation of watch functions.
