Since the first DW-5000C was launched in 1983, G-Shock has continued to push the boundaries of timekeeping and develop new, original designs. These new models embody these efforts in an attractive, slim configuration. They adopt the octagonal shape that was also used for the original DW-5000C. The analog-digital timekeeping is packaged in a straightforward, simple design without compromising the toughness of the G-Shock level. High-strength resin material reinforced with carbon fibers allows for the creation of a case that is only 11.8 mm thick, making it the thinnest among G-Shock combination models.
