What it is?
Explore an intense texture crafted in an array of fine finishes on a black metal canvas. Introducing the GMW-B5000, a true heir to the first-ever G-SHOCK in a multi-finish black metal design.
The art of timepiece finishes is on full display with this watch. Honing finishes feature prominently on the bezel and band, with sides treated in a hairline finish and beveled band surfaces, screws and buttons treated in a mirror finish. The entire watch is then coated in black ion plating.
Finally, the top surface of the bezel is polished once again in a hairline finish to expose nearly all of the stainless steel beneath the ion plating.
Ion plating one shade lighter than conventional black integrates the re-exposed stainless steel of the bezel seamlessly into the overall design for a sophisticated, well-balanced, and singularly intriguing timepiece.

Bezel Finish:
- The entire bezel is thoroughly honed, with a hairline finish on the sides and a mirror finish on the screws and buttons.
- It receives a black IP treatment, followed by selective polishing with a hairline finish on the top surface. This process removes most of the black IP down to the stainless steel while preserving the black IP within the engravings, creating a unique look with contrasting finishes.
Matte Black Sophistication:
- The stainless steel bezel and band are treated with a lighter-tone black IP, differing from the conventional black IP of the GMW-B5000GD-1.
- The chic, matte black on the honed surface adds sophistication and harmonizes with the silver of the exposed stainless steel after polishing.
Detailed Finishing of Band and Case Back:
- The band pieces are honed with varied finishes to accentuate the beauty of metal:
- Links and buckle feature a hairline finish on the sides, with a mirror finish on the beveled surfaces.
- The screw-back of the case is mirror-finished and then treated with a DLC coating for durability.
