While we’re dedicated to mechanical watchmaking, sometimes life just calls for a rugged quartz watch — for a G-SHOCK, more specifically.
In addition to its famed composite resin cases, Casio also makes G-SHOCK watches from other materials, such as titanium. These are some of the most compelling in the G-SHOCK line, as they retain the case profiles of the original 1980s models but add a famously high-impact metal that’s notoriously difficult to machine. In short: What could possibly be cooler than a titanium G-SHOCK?
This particular titanium G-SHOCK, the GMW-B5000TB-1CR, features a 43.2mm matte black, DLC-coated titanium case with laser etchings and matching bracelet, sapphire crystal, 200m of water resistance, and the full suite of G-SHOCK bells and whistles: world time, alarms, chronograph, LED backlight, Bluetooth smartphone link, radio-controlled timekeeping, and more. Anchored by a quartz movement, all of this functionality is solar-powered with a 10-month power reserve.
Equipped with its outer and inner boxes, instruction manuals, registration pamphlet, warranty dated to 2019 and extra bracelet links, this GMW-B5000TB-1CR is easily one of the coolest G-SHOCK models on the market.
Don’t take our word for it, however — try it on for size!
